| Course Title: Race and Science |
| Start Date: 01/21/2020 End Date: 05/05/2020 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2020 |
| Description: In Race and Science, we will focus on three themes: our current understanding of human variation based on what we know about human evolutionary history and population genetics; how science has been used to both support and undermine racial categories and hierarchies; and how racial categorization impacts human health and well-being. We will explore these themes through readings, videos, class discussions, student expert panels, and research papers. |
