Geography
Race and Ethnicity
Project description
Browse through some local, regional and/or national newspapers and find a story in the last 5 years that focuses on race or ethnicity. Relating it to concepts discussed in class and in the readings (such as the process of ‘othering’; racial or ethnic neighborhoods; resistance and protest; bodily expressions of ethnic identity; home and workplace issues etc), write a paper describing the ‘geographies’ (broadly defined, i.e. neighborhoods, spatial experience, importance of space or place) inherent to or behind the surface of the story.
