AF_AM_ST 250-0 : Race, Class, and Gender

Description

This course will introduce students to the importance of thinking race, class, and gender together, simultaneously. We will begin with key texts by notable black studies and black feminist scholars and lay out the foundations of why race, class, and gender are indispensable vectors of social classification. Additionally, we will rigorously consider critiques of such frameworks, developing skill in combating these critiques as well as nuancing our intersectional understandings in light of them. Authors to be read include Kimberlé Crenshaw, Jennifer Nash, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, and more.
