Course Description:
People in America often consider race in stark black and white terms. In part, this is because African
Americans and white Americans have particular and distinct histories that give blackness and whiteness
unique status in the United States. However, American racial formations are organized along a complex
matrix that involves much more than these two categories account for. In this class, we will explore the
entire construction of the idea of race. We will examine the cultural and political-economic construction
of race in the United States and analyze how races are reproduced, maintained, and challenged. How has
race been defined in relation to notions of color, race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, nation, language,
and non-white perspectives? We will consider how racial groups that are neither black nor white, like
Asians, Latinos, and multiracial peoples, are fundamentally involved in the ways race, identity, and power
are understood and mobilized in America. Furthermore, we will consider how gender, sexuality, class,
and nationality are all involved in shaping ideas of race so that all racial categories, black, white and
otherwise, are formed by and through ideas of gender, sexuality, class and nationality.
LSP 200 Learning Outcom es:
1. By the end of this class, students will identify key debates in the history of multiculturalism. As
students understand the debates and values of multiculturalism in theory, they will be able to
apply them beyond the classroom into practice by developing and using reasonable guidelines for
prioritizing important values – including respect for differences, equality, and social justice.
2. Through the use of self-reflection and critical analysis, students will be able to identify and
understand their place in their own historical context. They will also be able to articulate
assumptions and explore connections to alternative interpretations and perspectives on history
and culture other than their own.

3. Student will critically analyze multiple sources of information (from, for example, relevant
databases and other reference works, primary and secondary sources, community knowledge,
etc.) in order to form clear, concise arguments about multicultural issues and to interpret evidence
from a varie.

How did the world become global? Starting in the 1450s, this course explores how mariners,
merchants, and monarchs connected the globe through faster ships, the exchange of goods, and
colonial governance. Today’s highly interconnected world has a history, including the rise of
global empires, the expansion of export economies, and worldwide political revolutions. As race
became fixed, gender roles shifted, and science described and classified through Western eyes,
human actions made the world modern. Together we will ask how large-scale resistance to
centralized rule and the persistence of people’s everyday lives shaped the changes we now call
globalization and modernity.
Course objectives
Students who complete this class will be able to:
• Explain the difference between primary and secondary sources.
• Use evidence from primary and secondary sources to construct an argument.
• Differentiate between local and global processes; in other words: articulate how scale
changes historical analysis.
• Evaluate similarities and differences; in other words: make historical comparison.

Theme Skills Focus

Course Methodology
Historical analysis Historical analysis requires learning, understanding, and assessing available
evidence and then asserting informed interpretations. Here, historical analysis does not imply a
listing of a series of events, people, or circumstances. Instead, historians conduct careful
investigations and test their assumptions in order to assert an interpretation or an argument about
the past.
Preparation Our class experience will rely on our mutual preparation. I do not expect you to be
experts in all things regarding world history, but I do ...
