CRMN 2831U – Critical Race Theory

Critical race theory, a term unknown two decades ago, is now a field with a growing interest, vocabulary and literature. This course will consider the history, theoretical underpinnings and implications of Critical Race Theory (CRT). Students will read some of the seminal texts in CRT, as well as some of its precursors. Beginning with readings in legal literature, we will then venture into theoretical constructs in feminism and postmodernism that inform CRT.
