Deconstructing Race (Transnationalizing Race Series)
Fall 2021: Tuesday and Thursday 1:30pm-2:45 pm
Durham Hall, Room 135
How can we address contemporary global inequalities that are rooted in racist ideologies?
—————————————————————
How are race and racism related to economic, social, cultural, and ecological inequities?
—————————————————————
How can we better understand the broad geographical and historical consequences of race?
—————————————————————
How have racism and racialization impacted different regions of the globe?
This Lab will investigate the category of race in a transnational framework, examining diverse geographical and historical manifestations of race in relation to social, economic, political, and cultural practices. Looking at various colonial legacies, philosophical texts, and works of art, this lab will encourage reflection and interpretation of the language and idea of race in order to understand the different experiences of racialized populations and communities, with the explicit goal of promoting a more inclusive vision of humanity for the twenty-first century.

Impact Outcomes
Students in the Deconstructing Race Lab investigated racialization in a transnational framework. They reflected on works of art, colonial legacies, and philosophical texts to understand the experiences of racialized groups. They then worked closely with their instructors to create interventions and research impact outcomes that examined the intersection of race and a variety of other cultural phenomena with the goal of promoting a more inclusive vision of humanity for the 21st century.
