Geography 312 - Sem: Geog of Racial Mixing

The growing racial diversity of the United States is evident at all spatial scales, from the individual body, to the household, neighborhood, city, and state. This course examines this topic by first exploring the instability and power of racial categories and the spatiality of racial identities and privilege. We then focus our attention on historical and contemporary patterns of racial mixing, mixed-race partnerships, and multiraciality and think through the challenges that race poses.
