ASTD 693 – Racial Crossings |
Saint Louis University
St. Louis, Missouri
Fall 2014
Heidi Ardizzone, Associate Professor of American Studies
This course examines race in American history and culture primarily through the lens of racial ambiguities, intersections, and intimacies. With attention to major theoretical frameworks for interpreting racial identity and structures, we examine historical and contemporary experiences of race, focusing primarily but not exclusively on black-white contexts. Topics covered include interracial relationships, people of mixed ancestry, and shifting or ambiguous racial identities.
