Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2557 The violence of whiteness is occluded and concealed by treating whiteness and white people as normative, rational, and inevitable. In this class, we will turn our analytic gaze upon whiteness itself, exposing its insidious modes of self-and-other construction, and destabilizing its ocular power to define others. We will pay special attention to how the white, “colonial gaze” has operated in the purportedly-liberal discipline of anthropology, and explore ethnographic methods for studying whiteness and white supremacy. ; Pre-requisite(s): Two prior courses in Anthropology, or permission of the instructor. ; Enrollment Limit: 15 Social Science, B: Analysis of the Social World (; Hav: SO, B) |
