Kim Hall, Professor of Philosophy
What is race? What is the relationship between the category of race and racism? What is the relationship between race and personal identity? How do multiracial identities raise questions about the meaning of race and its relationship to identity? What is the relationship between racialization and society? What can philosophy help us to understand about race? What are the relationships between race, gender, class, and sexuality? How has the idea of race influenced the discipline and practice of philosophy? This course will examine the metaphysical, epistemological, social, political, and ethical dimensions of race. Class readings will include both historical and contemporary philosophical approaches to race and racism.
