PAST 240 - Philosophy of Race and Gender4 credits
Examines the ways in which philosophical reflections have attempted to come to terms with race and gender. Students are asked to think critically about some questions: Are race and gender natural biological facts, and if not, are they real? Are they socially constructed, and if so, in what sense? What role do race and gender play in organizing interpersonal and social structures? When race and gender become oppressive through racist and sexist practices, how can one strive to overcome these injustices? Students will have the opportunity to read and examine arguments by modern and contemporary philosophers who address these questions. Same as WGST 240. C- or better in WRTG 103 - College Writing WRTG 104 - College Writing Accelerated or WRTG 115 . CLA-Diversity US, CLA-Women’s and Gender Studies, CLA-Writing Intensive
