    Bottom of Form

     

    We explore race and ethnicity in education and the family.  Our objectives this week are to:

      • Recall      historical racial battles over education for Native Americans and African      Americans;

     

      • Determine      how social capital, cultural capital, and stereotype threat reproduce      inequalities in education;

     

      • Assess  whiteness in the American educational system;

     

      • Dissect      the history of the family recognizing how the institution has changed      since colonialism and slavery;

     

    • Examine  the history of the “one-drop rule” and its impact on interracial      relationships; and
       
    • Recall  statistics and sociological explanations for trends in interracial      marriage and divorce in the United States.
