Lecture Notes

Take a look at this video (available in the Readings and Lecture page in Compass) for a well-reasoned and impassioned argument to end the use of mascots. We began today's lecture with a question: What race are you? How do you know? Hopefully, today's lecture has demonstrated that race is a slippery object: it's difficult to define, has been used in the production of myths, and continues to haunt modern society and sport.
