GENERAL OBJECTIVES, RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND SCIENTIFIC RELEVANCE

Critical Race Theory is a way to understand how racism has shaped public policy and to uncover histories of discrimination in education, health care, and the media, to name a few institutions. This course will present the fundamental tenets of critical race theory and how they inform policy analyses and policy change drawing on the work of seminal essential race theorists such as Kimberely Crenshaw, Ibram X, Kendi, and Robin D’Angelo. The course will engage with the merits of some emerging international debates relating to the efficacy of critical race theory from a policy perspective, including debates about the role of government in bringing about equity and critical race theory’s focus on racial outcomes rather than intentionality and equal opportunity. Examples of critical race theory policy initiatives will be integrated into the workshop.
