Students examine and learn about variety of topics, including but not limited to: race and racism; ethnicity and nationalism; gender; sexuality; foodways; rights; kinship, family, and marriage; class and inequality; global economy; politics and power; arts and performance; digital worlds; religion, health and illness.
