Description: How is racialization experienced in the body? To what extent do sociopolitical hierarchies shape the lived experience of differently situated persons?

This class will consider these questions using methods from phenomenology, with special focus on Black and Latinx phenomenologies. Thinkers studied include Frantz Fanon, Mariana Ortega, Linda Martín Alcoff, George Yancy, Kathryn Sophia Belle, and Shannon Sullivan.
