ASSIGNMENT DETAILS !
For this Discussion Board, I want you to explore how your understanding of Race/Ethnicity has changed over the semester thus far. So you will need to share how your perceptions of these concepts have shifted through engaging course materials. In your post share the following:
1) how has your understanding of race and ethnicity changed?
2) what specific course material (assigned reading/lecture) helped to shape the way you now think about Race/Ethnicity in the U.S.? Please include a paraphrased reference or direct quote that impacted the way you think about these concept s. Include a parenthetical citation from an author we've read or one of my lectures.
To complete this assignment, you'll need to answer these questions in a short paragraph blurb, your post should be AT LEAST 150 words in length. You'll need to to also respond two peers' posts to receive full credit for the assignment.

What will be covered:
What is race revisited
Phases of Race Thinking
Christian/theological
Biological/Scientific
Social Science
Racial prerequisite cases (evolving understanding of race
Racial Formation Theory
Racialization
Race making
Key terms:
Racial Formation Theory: an analytical tool in sociology used to look at race as a socially constructed identity, where the content and importance of racial categories are determined by social, economic, and political forces
Racialization:
The process by which social understandings (think stereotypes) are used to classify individuals or groups of people within a black-white colored binary or continuum.
Can be good or bad (Asians are good at math, all immigrants are criminals)
This is a (centuries long) process that associates certain social classifications (based on physical makers) with individuals that need to be:
Exploited for capitalist gains
Removed because they no longer serve a function in the capitalist society
What is Race? (Revisited)
What are our 4 (or 5) primary race categories?
These are considered to be what kind of construct?
When did our understandings of Race and racial difference emerge?
What was one of the primary purposes of establishing Race/Racial and Ethnic differences?
Racial Formations: Phases of Race thinking
Christian/theological thinking
Polygenesis: stemmed from European explorers that interacted with People of Color all over the world
They claimed that these people came from different origins than those of Anglo-Europeans, which was at odds with the Adam and Eve creationism story
Monogenesis: church argued that there was only one species of man but that different races were of different levels of piety (BIPOC were pagans in need of rescuing/Christianizing)
This both justified the conquest of lands and enslavement/eradication of people
Racial Formations: Phases of Race thinking
Biological Science
Evolutionary biologist, botanist, and medical scientist argued that human races we different down a cellular level
Essentially, there were different species of man (our 5 types)
Social Science
Anthropologist argued that Race was a social concept
Race was created out of social, political, and historical moments when various people were defined as different
Racial Formations: Racial Prerequisite Cases
History of Racial Perquisite Cases
List of all 51 Racial Perquisite Cases determining who was white

Racial Formations Theory
Theory of Racial Formation
an analytical tool in sociology, developed by Michael Omi and Howard Winant, which is used to look at race as a socially constructed identity, where the content and importance of racial categories are determined by social, economic, and political forces
Things to consider with regard to with Race:
It is a social construct
It is unstable
It evolves to include new groups of people over time
It is socially, politically, and economically defined
While imaginary, it has material effects on peoples' lives
Racial Formations: Racialization
Racialization:
The process by which social understandings (think stereotypes) are used to classify individuals or groups of people within a black-white colored binary or continuum.
Can be good or bad (Asians are good at math, all immigrants are criminals)
This is a (centuries long) process that associates certain social classifications (based on physical makers) with individuals that need to be:
Exploited for capitalist gains
Removed because they no longer serve a function in the capitalist society
All groups are racialized in relational and oppositional ways
Exp: Evolving Racialization of Chicanx/Latinx
Race Making
Social:
Academics (education/theology)
Media (news/cinematic and tv/music/advertising)
Political
Campaigns
Politicians
Legal
Laws
Policies/Practices

Lecture Layout
What we'll be covering:
Co-conconstruciton of identity categories
Identity categories
Matrix of Domination
Intersectionality
Intersectional analysis
Intersectionality examples
Key terms:
Indentity categories: physical, social, and mental characteristics of individuals. Examples of social identities are race/ethnicity, gender, social class/socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, (dis)abilities, and religion/religious beliefs.
Matrix of Domination: is a sociological concept that explains issues of oppression that deal with race, class, and gender, which, despite being fundamentally different, are all interconnected
Marginalization:to put or keep (someone) in a powerless or unimportant position within a society or group.helps us consider how issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, age, and immigration status intersect to affect people differently and interconnectedly
Intersectionality/intersectional analysis: helps us consider how issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, age, and immigration status intersect to affect people differently and interconnectedly
Co-constructing Identity Categories
Like with race, there are many other Identity Categories that are socially constructed
Identity category: Social identity groups are usually defined by some physical, social, and mental characteristics of individuals. Examples of social identities are race/ethnicity, gender, social class/socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, (dis)abilities, and religion/religious beliefs.
Rember that identity categories emerge at certain historical moments and evolve depending on political and economic conditions.
Identity categories
Race:
Social categorization based upon phenotypical differences
Used to establish hierarchal social orders based upon “physical” distinctions
Ethnicity:
Cultural values and norms that distinguish the members of a given group from others.
Ethnic groups consist of individuals that collectively identify and share a common awareness
Class:
Social status attributed to one’s income/wealth/possessions
Gender:
Social understanding of behaviors appropriate for each sex (boys will be boys/that’s girls' stuff)
Sexuality:
the way people experience and express themselves sexually. This involves biological, erotic, physical, emotional, social, or spiritual feelings and behaviors. Because it is a broad term, which has varied over time, it lacks a precise definition.

Intersectionality: Matrix of Domination
Although we have to recognize that people have these types of distinctions, there are overarching systems of oppression that suppress people in interrelated ways, not exactly the same
Matrix of Domination: is a sociological concept that explains issues of oppression that deal with race, class, and gender, which, despite being fundamentally different, are all interconnected
Example of Matrix of Domination
Intersectional analysis comes from feminist of color intellectual perspectives discussing how people face marginalization along various lines
Marginalization: to put or keep (someone) in a powerless or unimportant position within a society or group.
One is often marginalized in at least 2 or more of these ways:
Race
Class
Gender
Sexual preference/orientation/expressions
Ability
Citizenship status
Religion
Caste
Intersectionality
Intersectionality
This is a foundational concept in Sociology and Social Analysis
Developed by Feminist Sociologists and Scholars of Color
It helps us consider how issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, age, and immigration status intersect to affect people differently and interconnectedly
We want to use this concept as a tool to understand how social forces and issues impact the life chances and social mobility of various marginalized groups
Intersectionality

race
class
gender
ethnicity
religion

sexuality
Race based issues:
Police shooting of unarmed African Americans
The wage gap
Gender issue:
Singular vs Intersectional analysis

Singular vs Intersectional analysis
Intersectional analysis asks us to how certain specific groups (exp. men and women of color vs. white men/women) are affected differently
10
Further consideration
Insectionality example: Health Outcomes
Life expectancy/infant mortality are huge measures of the health realities for BIPOC Communities; specifically, how various factors around these groups are limiting these:
Housing and environment
Work and stress (for adults)
Access to healthy foods/recreation
Availability of healthcare services and education
Intersectionality Example: Criminalization
