Overview
This module provides an introduction to key contemporary debates in the sociology of race. Each week is organised around a key concept, challenging ?commonsense? ideas about racial difference, ethnicity and culture. Exploring the fascinating role of race in the organisation of social and cultural life, this module assumes no prior knowledge of the topic, and provides an excellent foundation for the further study of race at levels 5 and 6. This module includes a walking tour of ?black London? led by a professional tour guide.
