Seminar "African American Identity, History and the State"
 Tuesday afternoons, 4:30-6:00pm. Stanhope Seminar Room
This year's theme for 2008-2009, Race and Popular Culture, draws inspiration
from the groundbreaking 1992 critical anthology Black
Popular Culture (Seattle,
WA: Bay Press) in its aim to explore "the popular" in relation to race and
across multiple sites of inquiry and fields of cultural production: literature
and print media, film, video, the visual arts, dance, digital-web media, television,
popular music and sound media, theater and performance art.

- Got Guts Project
 In the fall semester of 2006, sixty-five students at Princeton University spent
15 weeks studying Disaster, Race and American Politics. The course explained
that Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst modern disasters in the United
States. Like other disasters in American history, it provides a lens for
understanding many of the fault lines within American society and politics.
This course used disaster and its racial consequences to analyze a wide range
of topics in the study of American politics. Using disaster as a focal point
the class covered topics that includes: African American literary responses
to disaster; American racial history; the contemporary racial divide in American
public opinion; the role of the media in politics; federalism; urban politics;
and civil society in the United States.
