ANTH351 Multicultural Studies
This course explores the social construction of race, ethnicity, and gender through international and historical perspective. Each of these three kinds of hierarchical differences joins a set of ideas about natural and cultural essences that serve to define and justify social boundaries. This course will survey the evolving theories of race, ethnicity, and gender among anthropologists, historians, and other scholars over the past three decades. It will also examine the role that these social constructs play in society and the workplace.
