Description

Race and Ethnic Relations provides a sociological perspective on intergroup relations between different ethnic groups. Culturally based differences regarding communication styles, lifestyles, and ideology are explored, as well as the mechanisms of discrimination as they influence power structures inhibiting equality. The history and current experiences of some of the ethnic groups represented in the United States, as well as globally, are examined.

Upon completion of this learning experience, you will:

  • Demonstrate a working knowledge of key concepts, terms, and theoretical frameworks of race and ethnic relations.

  • Identify the social, political, and historical conditions under which segregation, racial/ethnic hierarchies and conflicts emerged.

  • Identify key institutions through which racial/ethnic boundaries and hierarchies are produced and sustained in the United States.

  • Identify significant social, cultural, and economic differences among racial/ethnic groups in the United States.

  • Describe, compare, and contrast contemporary patterns of global race/ethnic relations and summarize and evaluate future trends.

  • Examine the relationship of theology to issues of race and ethnicity.

  • Analyze and develop his/her own general dispositions and capacities to cross cultural (including racial and ethnic) boundaries.
