ENG 345 - Racial Formations

Guided by the concept of “racial formations,” this course will foreground the definition of “race.” It will ask questions about whether race is a biological or discursive category, about the relationship between race and identity, and about how racial identity is informed by class, gender, sexuality, and other socio-historical “formations.” Course materials may include literature, film, criticism and theory, scientific and historical readings, and popular culture texts such as television, video, and music.
