CRES 60003 — Graduate Intro Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies
Required for CRES Graduate Certificate
This course aims to give students a broad, general understanding of the multifaceted
field that has come to be known as Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies in the United
States. Critical Race Theory serves as a central theoretical framework for students
to understand the concepts of race and ethnicity, their intersections with other concepts
such as gender, and their manifestations in society. The course traces the historical
trajectory of the field from its founding to the current manifestations.
