S-Race, Ethnicity & Immigratn
Course Number	SOCIOL 795I
Course Title	S-Race, Ethnicity & Immigratn
Department	Sociology
Campus	University of Massachusetts
Course Description	This interdisciplinary graduate seminar examines the process through which the global movement of people exposes the invention, construction, and ongoing reconstruction of race across time and geography. From the perspective of both immigrant and native, we begin with a historical consideration of the racialized subject in the United States, spanning from forced African slave migration to 19^th century discourses on the European `other.? We will evaluate how 20th & 21st century US immigration trends challenge preexisting race-ethnic hierarchies while also enforcing them. We will also extend our analysis beyond the United States to racial immigration dynamics affecting the European Union, Africa, the Persian Gulf, Asia, Oceania, and Latin America, along with a consideration of how forced environmentally-induced migration movements differentially impact countries in the global south.
