About the course

The world is interdependent and the movement of people, organisms, technologies, products and capital has historically defined eras and continues to have repercussions on the ways that life is structured and experienced. These historical networks continue to shape lives and structure inequalities. The course material addresses these inequalities with a critical focus on issues of race and whiteness. In this course, you will be introduced to theoretical perspectives grounded in feminist, gender studies and intersectional approaches. You will then be required to apply these theoretical perspectives when analysing discourses of race, racism and privilege.
