Description

How have racial politics shaped U.S. presidential campaigns past and present? This course will track the role that racial issues play in the 2020 presidential election in real time, while also examining the key episodes in the history of race and presidential elections from 1948 to 2016.

Course Requirements:

Course requirements will include short papers and a team-based multimedia presentation.

Class Format:

My online class will include both synchronous and asynchronous elements, but I will generally expect students to “attend” my class at its currently scheduled time.
