Scholarship on race and ethnicity is critical to a truly global sociology. A sociological approach to the topic begins with the assumption that race and ethnicity are socially and politically constructed phenomena. Racial and ethnic categories vary significantly across time, place and space, and it is crucial to explore their continuing significance. They are key components in socioeconomic, political and cultural stratification and collective organization and action and they also establish the foundation of individual and group identities as they are conceptualized and lived on a day-to-day basis.In this course, we will explore different theoretical and empirical approaches to the sociological study of race and ethnicity. Three main goals direct the focus of the course:1) Understanding the social construction of race and ethnicity within national and global contexts2) Explaining and reflecting upon the ways in which racial and ethnic categories create structural and institutionalized inequalities3) Thinking about our own social location within the context of race and ethnicity on a local and global level, from a historical and contemporary perspective.Timetable:•1st Seminar: Introduction•2nd Seminar: Race and Ethnicity as Sociohistoric Constructions•3rd Seminar: Ethnicity as a Variable•4th Seminar: Race, Ethnicity and Immigration–“White Ethnics” in USA•5th Seminar: Racism, Prejudice and Discrimination•6th Seminar: African Americans in the United States•7th Seminar: No class – reading period•8th Seminar: Representations of Race & Ethnicity (Museum trip)•9th Seminar: Roma in the Czech Republic & Europe•10th Seminar: The European Case: Great Britain and France•11th Seminar: Brazil: A “Racial Democracy”•12th Seminar: “Modern Peoplehood”: Islamic and other “Others”•13th Seminar: Conclusion – “After race?”
