In addition to examining the ways in which race has been socially constructed and how its meanings have changed over time, the course also explores the politics of interracial marriage, contemporary mixed race identities, and cross-racial adoption. Through an examination of historical, sociological, and autobiographical texts, the course explores a variety of themes including: census classifications, affirmative action, notions of colorblindness, questions of appearance, \u201cauthenticity,\u201d community belonging, and the debates around the mixed race movement. Course requirements include posting a weekly discussion question, two in-class exams, and a final group project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Race and Mixed Race University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts American Culture AMCULT 311 &#8211;\u00a0 Topics in Ethnic Studies Section 001 Fall 2011 Evelyn Azeeza Alsultany, Assistant Professor of American Culture This course examines how conceptions of race and mixed race have been historically shaped through law, science, and popular culture.
