ATLANTIC HISTORY
RACEETH 150
This course explores the Atlantic community created as a result of Christopher Columbus' voyage of 1492.

AMERICAN MINORITY POLITICS

The central concern of this course is to provide the student an awareness of the political development of racial and ethnic minorities in today's political arena.

YOUTH CULTURE FORMATION: RACE, GENDER, AND SEXUALITY
RACEETH 241
This course explores how various U.S. institutions construct "youth" as a social category, how those constructions are primarily interlocked with race and ethnicity, and how those constructions subsequently shape youth cultures in multi-faceted, intersectional cultural contexts such as music, gaming, sports, and media.
RACE, ETHNICITY AND FILM
