      "description": "This course is designed to introduce students to important concepts, theories, and analytical frameworks that shape the field of Ethnic Studies and help us understand the ways race (among other intersecting factors such as gender, class, and sexuality) structures American society. It explores concepts such as racialization, the development of race as a social category, the relationship between race and U.S. imperialism, and the deep history of contemporary racial formations. The course uses interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to study race and ethnicity in order to develop holistic understandings of the lives of Mexican, Black, Latino, Asian, Native, and Euro-American heritage. This foundational knowledge is critical for engaging in public discourse around issues of race, power, and identity outside the classroom.",
