4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureNUpath AD
Aims to equip students with the skills for social research in intersectional issues of race and ethnicity. Examines how to carry out research with communities, engage with ethical considerations, and interrogate the historical and contemporary impact of research on communities of color. Familiarizes students with methodologies developed by oppressed communities that challenge the racialized and gendered inequalities underlying the production and dissemination of knowledge. Enables students to draw on insights from Ethnic Studies, Critical Health Studies, Disability Studies, and Women’s Studies to examine the intersections between race, nation, gender, sexuality and (dis)ability. Teaches students how to utilize interviews, focus groups, participant observation, and arts-based methods in the context of community-based, anti-oppressive research. Offers students the opportunity to design a senior thesis research project.
