授業の概要 |
This course aims to provide a clear understanding that racial prejudice is scientifically wrong, examine our responsibility for eliminating racism from our minds, and consider how we can fight against the phenomenon and institutions of racial discrimination in our society. First, students will examine the widespread but false concept of "race" from a critical point of view, then consider how institutionalized racism plagued the societies of South Africa and U.S. from the writings on Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. Their insights still inspire because racism remains pervasive worldwide and the struggle to eliminate it is not yet complete. |
