| LGLS 0803 - African Americans, Equality and the Law: Weapon or Tool? |
|
Learn about the experience of African Americans through the lens of the U.S. legal system. U.S. law, which first defined African Americans as less than human, eventually declared discrimination illegal, and remains both an expression and an instrument of change at the intersection of race and equality. As you study this evolution, you will reflect on relevant current events, and explore your own responses to the kind of everyday encounters that continually arise in our pluralistic society. Can race be used as a factor in hiring, in college admissions? Is race a factor for you in dating, marriage, adoption? We explore issues like these on both broad social and personal dimensions. NOTE: This course fulfills the Race & Diversity (GD) requirement for students under GenEd and Studies in Race (RS) for students under Core. Students who have already successfully completed LGLS 0903 or LGLS 1002 (R050) cannot earn credit for this course. Students who are under Core and take this course in fall 2008 or after will ONLY fulfill the Race requirement for Core. This course will NOT fulfill the American Culture Core requirement.
