27 Fall 2021: Universidade Federal Da Bahia, Brazil

Instructor: Wazir Mohamed (IU East), & Dr. Marcelo Moura Mello (Federal University of Bahia).

Course: SOC-S335 – Race and Ethnic Relations.

Course Description: Race and ethnicity are institutionalized features of our social world and therefore influence our very conception of who we are and social heritage. Among the topics usually covered are these. How have race and ethnic relations evolved in this country? What is the current extent of racial and ethnic inequalities in America? What are the consequences of racial and ethnic identities for individual’s life chances? In this course we will incorporate a cross disciplinary student project, that will enable students studying Race and Ethnic Relations at Indiana University to be involved in two-way cross-cultural exchange with students at the Universidade Federal Da Bahia of Brazil.
