In this course, we will examine the genealogy of works in "critical race theory," including foundational texts defining "racism" and the contexts of racial inequality. We will consider works challenging commonsense and scientific constructions of race, those recognizing the ernbeddedness of race in state and social institutions, and those mapping the intersections of race with other subjectivities, particularly gender and class.

This course is designed for people who are actively attempting to teach, conduct research, or do social change work in a way that engages and cultivates the knowledge of marginalized communities. Organized efforts of marginalized people to produce collective knowledge and to make their knowledge matter have bubbled up in and been transported to many places and spaces across the globe, from rural Chiapas to rural Denmark, Appalachia to the Bronx, Brazil to Tanzania, the World Bank to the World Social Forum.

This course is designed to acquaint you with laboratory and field research methods in biological and medical anthropology. Through readings, in-class exercises, data collection, and laboratory analysis, we will examine issues of epistemology, ethics, data and biomarker collection methods, analysis, and data processing. You will learn to develop appropriate research questions, design a project, apply research ethics and responsibilities, and peer review research proposals. Topics covered in this course include nutrition, energetics, cardiovascular function, immune status, and stress markers.
