OPEN TO UNDERGRADUATES ONLY
For years we have understood that race is, biologically speaking, an
exceedingly complex matter and that preconceived biases much more
than biology govern the way people think about race. In this
course, we will discuss both the biological myth and social reality
of race. In particular, we will focus on the social significance of
race by examining the reality of racial stratification, the reality
of the experience of race, and the rationality of those who study
racial dynamics and processes.
