A course poster for SJCS 2220: Race, Racism, Colonialism. Three images show book covers for The Fourth World, The Wretched of the Earth, and Discourse on Colonialism. Course description: Consider how race, racism and colonialism affect and implicate all of us in the most ordinary and extraordinary ways. This Fall 2025 course develops an intersectional, interdisciplinary and internationalist approach in unpacking the historical and contemporary operations of settler colonialism, racial capitalism and white supremacy—and collectively challenging these structures to build justice-centered futures otherwise.
