Description

This course fulfills the LSA Race & Ethnicity Requirement and Social Science Requirement.

This introductory course will examine the history of various social identity groups in the United States including identities based on race/ethnicity, gender, religion, socio-­-economic class, sexual orientation, and ability status. This course will also examine the theory behind how social identity groups form, and how bias develops (prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination). We will also explore how people develop an understanding of their own social identity group membership, how groups are impacted by privilege and power dynamics, and how to develop advocacy for groups to which one does not belong.  Students can expect to participate in class through individual and group projects as well as class discussion. While there will be some lectures, this course is primarily interactive and activity based.

Intended Audience:

Sections 001 and 002 are reserved for first and second year students and transfer students only.  To request permission to enroll, please fill out this form. 

Class Format:

This course will be offered in person where students are engaging in class discussions and activities. Students will be expected to attend class during the scheduled meeting times.
