SOCI.2004 Introduction to Multiracial Studies

Description

What does is mean to be biracial or multiracial? How is being bi/multiracial shaped by other identities? We will explore these important questions. You will also learn about the experiences, identities, and unique struggles of bi/multiracials. You will develop the analytical skills to challenge rigid racial binary. Bi/multiracial Americans are a growing population in the United States, and therefore, you are statistically more likely to befriend, date, work with and/or parent a bi/multiracial American than any other generation in American history. Consequently, this course was developed to enhance your racial consciousness by acknowledging the complexities of racial inequality in a population that is often assumed to be evidence of racial harmony in America.

Course prerequisites/corequisites are determined by the faculty and approved by the curriculum committees. Students are required to fulfill these requirements prior to enrollment. For courses offered through online or GPS delivery, students are responsible for confirming with the instructor or department that all enrollment requirements have been satisfied before registering.
