Race is a social construction that has had a persistent and pervasive influence on the American experience. More than one hundred years ago scholar and activist W.E.B. Du Bois described racism in this way: African Americans lived behind a veil that white society had constructed to blur their experiences and hide their humanity from whites. In "Race in America", we seek to understand why this veil was woven, its length and breadth, and how its continued presence has impacted our understanding of reality.

Queering Displacement is an upper-level interdisciplinary seminar that draws from contemporary theories of race, gender and sexuality to examine the relationship between specific communities and state-sanctioned displacements in the 20th and 21st centuries. What is the relationship between spaces such as reservations, inner cities, prisons and housing projects and the state’s intent to manage non-normative bodies? How are removal and displacement deployed as strategies to eradicate queer bodies?

This course examines personal narrative, literature, visual art and performance created by women of color in North America to understand ideas of identity, belonging and difference. We study the formation of women of color feminism from the 1970’s to the present through an interpretation of cultural forms, looking specifically at categories of race, indigeneity, gender, sexuality and class. We analyze how women of color authors and artists articulate frameworks of intersectionality, hybridity, coalition and liberation.
