This course examines critical discourses on race, gender, sexuality and space in terms of the built and spatial environments and how those categories function in power relations that underlie social and racial inequality. The critical discourses we engage come from various fields including African and Afro-American studies, to women and gender studies, to post-colonial studies and which include architectural theory and history, legal studies, anthropology, geography and other disciplines, as well as practices in architecture and the arts. The seminar will culminate in a research project chosen by the student in relation to their own personal interest and the themes explored in the class.
