• ETHNC 5420: Race Disability Illness

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  How do some bodies and minds come to be seen as deviant or and others as normal? What makes some subjects worthy of care and others disposable? How have the rubrics of 'health' and 'treatment' historically operated to discipline black and brown bodies? This course approaches narratives of race, disability, and illness through the frameworks of critical disability, critical ethnic, and feminist-of-color studies. It explores how illness, debility, and precarity are produced in and as racial violence. We will consider the categories of health and illness as historical products of medical knowledge and practices, studying the legacies of scientific racism, medical experimentation, and reproductive control. We will also examine contemporary iterations of environmental racism, tracing forms of structural inequality and violence that targets people of color'namely those who are poor and working class, queer and gender non-conforming, women, and (im)migrants. Finally, it asks what legacies of resistance we might find in various forms of art and cultural production, as well as in movements for racial, economic, and disability justice. We will approach these questions through a range of critical essays, novels, poetry, artwork, and community engagement.

• ETHNC 5550: Men of Color Masculine

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  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.

• ETHNC 5646: Racial Battle Fatigue

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This is a seminar course for undergraduate students. This course concerns itself with the study of the racialized mechanisms by which U.S. educational institutions foster and maintain hostile environments and racial microaggressions. Consideration is given first to the kinds of institutional climates that have historically existed in our society, to their bases and sources. Next, the course will review some of the major explanations social analysts have developed to account for why People of Color, in general, and African American and Latino males, in particular, are stratified in inferior statuses in the United Statesbased upon disparate treatment. The course will then turn its attention to the analysis of examining contemporary White racial ideologies, educational practices and structures, and the negative racial climate that maintain racial, ethnic, and social inequalities. Following the aforementioned discussions, the course will provide students with an understanding of the normal processes of sequential biological, sociological, cultural, and psychological costs forStudentsof color. Systems theory, social dominance theory, ecological, coping/resiliency, and cultural strengths perspectives are emphasized as a means to understanding the interactive context of individuals and social systems (families, student groups, university personnel, organizations, and communities) as they exist within social and educational environments and are impacted by a variety of social forces (political, economic, environmental, and ideological). Finally, the course will consider student successes in education. Students will be assigned to present selected readings, possibly, with another student depending on the size of the class. This presentation, significant and pertinent discussions, short writing assignments, and a final paper (including a formal paper presentation) will be a major portion of the students' grade. All students are expected to come to class regularly, to do the assigned reading and to participate in the class discussions.
