Course Description

This course is identical to ETHS G120. This course offers a critical analysis of how the social and spatial construction of racial/ethnic categories, specifically Black, Asian, Latinx, and Native American, shape places, societies, and everyday lived-experiences in the United States. This course will apply interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives and key geographic concepts to analyze how these processes are produced through historic and contemporary geographies of power, privilege, and oppression; agency, liberation, resistance, and justice; and exclusion, containment, access, and mobility. This course will provide students with the lifelong knowledge and skills to navigate social, psychological, physiological, and spatial relations of racial/ethnic inequality and justice. Enrollment Limitation: ETHS G120; students who complete GEOG G120 may not enroll in or receive credit for ETHS G120.
