SOC-227 The Sociology of Race and Ethnicity

This course explores issues of race and ethnicity as they exist in contemporary American society. We will look at the definition of race and ethnicity, how these definitions have evolved over time, and what they mean today. The impact of hate groups on American life and culture will be explored through the concept of difference and the ideas of superiority and inferiority. Core topics to be discussed include racial prejudice and racism, ethnic identity and multiculturalism, and Eurocentrism. This course meets the General Education requirement for Community and Cultural Contexts (previous area 2: Individual and Society) for all programs.
