ETHNC 5550 - Men of Color Masculine

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Ethnic Studies

Description:

This course will explore what it means to be a Man of Color in the United States, how these meanings have changed over time, and how masculinity interacts with race, gender, sexuality, age, class, immigration status, and institutional context. There is not one version of masculinity, but rather multiple masculinities. Because of this multiplicity, the Gender Studies Program offers a number of different, though very much complimentary courses. This course, 'Men of Color Masculinities,' is interdisciplinary and will draw on popular cultural texts and memoir, as well as historical and sociological theories and methods. Within and outside of the academy interest in our subject - not men, nor a singular entity called the masculine, but masculinities ' has grown in these fields, and many more besides, over the last two decades. We will discuss the many ways scholars have investigated masculinity in relation to the lives of Men of Color, but will focus on understanding and employing a social constructionist theoretical model. We will also engage with texts written by Men of Color from outside of academia. The class lectures and readings consider the diverse, and sometimes overlapping, experiences of men in different ethnic/racial groups and address subjects such as: Boyhood and Adolescence; Policing and the Military; Sports; Work; and Immigration.
