SOCI 500 Special Topics: Race Theory

Stereotypes and sincerely held beliefs about human sexuality abound. Often, these beliefs are rooted in racialized ideas about race, embodiment, and gender. In this course, we will explore the connections between race and sexuality to understand the logics that underpin these beliefs. What is the relationship between race and sexuality? How do these intersections manage everyday social life? How do they manage desire and desirability? In what ways do race and sexuality shape commodification and consumption? We attend to these and other questions throughout the course.
