POLI 111 Race, Equity and American Politics (3)

Students who take this class will learn the basic elements of American government and politics with a focus on race and equity. We will explore how race and equity are central to understanding the creation of the Constitution, the design of our institutions, the behaviors and attitudes of citizens, and the policies that govern our lives. Simply put, the overarching theme of this course is that concepts such as social stratification, inequality, and racism are enduring features of our politics. In addition to developing a basic understanding of these topics, students should gain an interest in contemporary political issues.
