WINTER 2013 LSA UNDERSTANDING RACE THEME SEMESTER
Race plays a huge, and sometimes unseen, part in our lives. It often
explains where Americans live and attend school, their likeliness of
being detained, arrested and incarcerated, life expectancies, career
opportunities, wealth and more. Race takes on additional meanings when
it intersects with other identities, including religion, sexuality, immigration
status, gender, class, ethnicity, politics, and other dimensions.
These are some of the issues that students and faculty will explore
together from a broad range of disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and
international perspectives during a theme semester on Understanding
Race, sponsored by the College of Literature, Science and the Arts in the
winter of 2013 and coordinated by the Department of Afroamerican and
African Studies, Ginsberg Center, Museum of Natural History, Program on
Intergroup Relations, and School of Social Work.
The Theme Semester is part of the larger Understanding Race Project,
inspired by the February 9 to May 27, 2013 visit of the traveling exhibit,
RACE: Are we so different?, to the Museum of Natural History. Schools,
community organizations, and residents across Washtenaw County are
also taking part. For more information about the Understanding Race
Project, visit the website at http://UnderstandingRaceProject.org.
Highlights of the Understanding Race Theme Semester will include:
- IndiVisible: African-Native American Lives in the Americas, traveling
exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution
