	51888	Lecture-Discussion	JR	3:00PM -5:50PM	W	Bevier Hall	Rana, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/08-12/10/08 Section Info: Topic: "Race and Ethnography." Meets with AAS 590, AFRO 598, and ANTH 515. Anthropology has for long held an important role in the debate on race, including how it is studied and its discussion in the public sphere. This course is an intensive graduate seminar of the study of the concepts of race and racism through the anthropological method of ethnography. Beginning with some of the important historical debates regarding the study of race as a social concept in anthropology, we will then approach recent case studies through a set of themes that theorize race as lived experience. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
	52204	Lecture-Discussion	KD	3:00PM -5:50PM	W	English Building	Dorr, K	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/08-12/10/08 Section Info: Topic: "Race and Gender as Political Geographies." Meets with GWS 590. This course offers a survey of various theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of race and gender as fluid, yet salient categories of social difference. By staging a dialogue between the fields of critical race studies, feminist and queer theory, and cultural geography, we will develop over the course of the semester a framework for thinking through race and gender as "political geographies"--sites of territorialized power that are produced, contested, and restructured across spatial scales. The goal of our collaboration will be to cultivate an interdisciplinary critical apparatus through which we can a) examine the multiple social meanings, practices and structures through which race and gender are constituted across space and over time; and b) make sense of how the categories of race and gender function interactivley with other systems of meaning to create and maintain social structures, as well as to challenge and transform them. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
