Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2173 What is a crime and who is a criminal? How are social understandings of punishment and control informed by hegemonic racial and sexualized ideologies? How do the answers to these questions change the ways we imagine and respond to news? To violence? And impact subjectivities? This seminar will examine the complex intersections between race, gender, sexuality, and crime within U.S. cultural, political and social contexts. To do this, we will explore historical and contemporary interdisciplinary studies that provide arguments about the connections between race, gender, sexuality, poverty and the criminal justice system. Topics include: mass incarceration, policing, violence, and media representations of crime.; Prerequisite(s): One ANTH course or instructor consent; Enrollment Limit: 25; Lottery Preference(s): Anthropology Majors, Africana Studies and Gen/Sex concentrators.
