(3.00 cr.)

Examines how relations of race and gender construct ethical subjects and change the way we understand what it means to live a good life. The course begins by offering some historical context for ethics of race and gender. The course then uses contemporary texts to explore how ethical subjects feel, act, and live their lives within the structures of violence, oppression, domination, and privilege. Students also explore possibilities of resistance and ethical/political action under such conditions.
