I will be teaching a critical race theory course this coming spring.  We 
can arrange for 500/600 graduate level hours for a select group of graduate 
students.  For these (only 7 will be allowed) I will work with students to 
create a discipline specific module to accompany the primary readings of 
the course.  Thus a graduate student in literature might be interested in 
critical race theory and literary criticism, political science –critical 
race theory and law or political systems, in education –critical race 
theory and pedagogy, or gerontology –critical race theory and aging.  
Students may contact me for enrollment options

SOC: 490: Horizons in Sociology

Critical Race Theory

 

Tu-th 11-12:15

Critical race theory bridges the gap between sociological theory and legal 
studies by investigating the link between race, jurisprudence, and power.  
Understanding the social construction of race, the course will look at such 
critical race theorists as Derrick Bell, Jari Matsuda, Richard Delgado, 
Kimberle Williams Crenshaw, Gloria Ladson-Billings, and William Tate.  
Classical treatments of race as found in the writings of Weber, Du Bois, 
Locke will also be explored.
