Description: This course combines ideas from history, public policy, sociology, and political science to examine how ideas of race have changed over from 1877 to the present. While we might think of ideas like “white,” “Black,” “Asian American,” or “Hispanic” as concrete categories, all of these categories and their social impact changed significantly over the course of a century.
