Hey class,
As we conclude the first week of class, let’s discuss some key topics from this week’s module.
Please reply to this post with your answers in your own words to 2 prompts of your choice, you can reply in any modality you prefer (video, presentation, text, pictures, etc.), but please tell me which 2 you are speaking to:
How was the definition of race influenced by European invasion and colonization of Africa and the Americas, plus the era of Enlightenment?
Can you tell me the current categories of race? How is that different than ethnicity?
Who benefited from changes of the pre-colonial definition of race?
Can you tell me about Dr. Ronald Takaki’s childhood? What stood out to you?
How are we socialized in this country to attach certain character traits to racial categories?
What is intersectionality and why is important to consider as we speak to race?
What was the original definition of race before colonial times and how did that change?
Respond to one of your peers’ reply highlighting what insights you have gained from their post.
Be sure to address peers in your response by their preferred name and sign your name at the end. Respond to one peer who has yet to receive a response by a classmate. If everyone’s post has been responded to, please respond to the one with the least amount of responses. For example, if every student has at least one response, then respond to the students who only have one or two responses instead of those who have 5 or 6 already.
Your assignment will be marked “Complete” if you:
