Scholars in Critical Whiteness Studies have long realized that racism intersects with other forms of oppression such as sexism, heterosexism, cissexism, classism, ableism, etc. But how specifically? Engaging with the work of researchers such as bell hooks, Steve Martinot, and others, we will focus on interdependencies of 'race' and gender in North American culture, also addressing interrelations with other categories as we do so.
Credit for the course requires regular attendance, contributions to class discussions, and participation in writing and presenting the minutes of one session. Registration for the seminar will take place in the first session.
