American Studies (10949)
TCLA - College of Liberal Arts
Course description
Race and Science Fiction considers how science fiction allows us to ask questions about race across time and space. In doing so, the course not only introduces students to how race and racism have been differently constructed throughout history but also gives students the tools to contextualize and critique present issues of racial inequality. The course also sets up first year students for a successful future at the University of Minnesota by introducing them to the core values and themes of a liberal education.
