Staff

Division: Social Science
Domain(s): B: Analysis of the Social World

What is the relationship between white supremacy, racial capitalism, and the construction of gender difference, gender deviance, and racial hierarchy?

In this course, students will encounter scholars from a range of disciplines—anthropology, Black studies, history, performance studies, and comparative literature—exposing the colonial invention and imposition of race/sex difference as a foundational move of colonialism, transatlantic slavery, and capitalism. In the second half of the course, taking cues from Ferguson’s Aberrations in Black, Williamson’s Scandalize My Name, and McMillan’s Embodied Avatars, we will consider the (trans) liberation politics that coalesce through antinormative gendered positions refuting racial capitalism’s regimes of value.

Through a series of weekly ‘dossiers’, with readings drawn from a wide range of sources including academic literature, NGO reports, blog posts, Twitter threads and case law, we will explore the emergence of international criminal justice as a distinct field of practice and seek to uncover the underlying assumptions and principles that inform the field. This course will offer an introduction to international criminal law as a legal framework. At the same time, we will work to situate this legal framework within broader, interdisciplinary conversations and current affairs: justice and social repair, humanitarianism, the role of non-state actors and civil society, international development, the influence of technology and social media, etc. Crosslisted: Peace, Justice and Human Rights; Anthropology Prerequisite(s): 200 level course in PJHR, ANTH or POLS, or consent of instructor
