An understanding of 'race' and racialization is crucial for American Studies, Gender Studies, and Western academic knowledge production in general. This course will take an intersectional approach, focusing particularly on the ways in which 'race' is intertwined with and co-constructed by gender, sexuality, class, citizenship, dis/ability, etc.
Participants will be encouraged to address 'race' in a self-reflexive manner, taking into account the particular social context in which this discussion is set. We will focus on specific forms of racialization targeting distinct racial and ethnic groups in the US while also discussing whiteness and racism in Germany.
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. You do not have to sign up on Agnes for this course. |
