 Welcome to this interdisciplinary course called the Science of Race. Students will walk away from this course being able to define and discuss concepts such as race, racism, group identity, racial passing, reparations for slavery, craniometry, biomedical ethics, segregation, population genetics, affirmative action, and more. In this class, students will read, discuss, debate, and evaluate texts and media focused on core concepts, including early non-western scientific traditions and race as a scientific and social construct. Students can also expect practical exercises or projects related to social justice and change, anthropological concepts of otherness, IQ, health and disease of people of color, and other relevant challenges that we face as a society today. Students who are curious, concerned, interested, or excited about race and race relations in the United States and beyond will be met with opportunities to explore and discuss important issues that we face every day as citizens in the world. If you are a student hoping to have an informed conversation with friends and parents about these issues, then this course is for you. Students from all backgrounds can succeed in this course, though strong active listening and critical thinking skills are especially beneficial for concepts and activities in the Science of Race.
