课程名称：美国生活与历史中的种族与文化多样性 课程概述：本课程旨在加深学员对种族、族裔和文化多样性如何塑造美国制度、意识形态、法律和社会关系的理解与欣赏，时间跨度从殖民时代到现在。种族和族裔被视为理念和文化类别，涵盖所有群体和个体。因此，本课程在很大程度上旨在广泛探讨美国历史与现代的种族与文化多样性理念。主要关注欧洲裔美国人、美国土著人、非洲裔美国人、拉丁裔及亚裔/太平洋裔美国人之间的历史与社会关系。课程从不同的民族文化传统中考察种族和族裔问题，以将多样的经历交织成对美国生活中种族和族裔意义的更大综合理解。在本课程中，我们将“种族”和“多样性”视为整个美国人口的参考，尽管我们认识到不同群体拥有独特的历史经历，导致根本性的文化差异。我们将种族和族裔视为动态、复杂的意识形态和文化过程，这些过程塑造了所有社会机构、信仰体系、群体关系和个人经历。 课程大纲： 1. 模块名称：种族与身份的概念介绍 描述：本模块介绍“种族”这一概念，并开始阐述其在美国的应用，同时探讨种族和族裔多样性的现实所引发的恐惧与机遇。 2. 模块名称：美国种族的历史遗产 描述：本模块深入探讨美国的若干具体问题，包括非洲裔美国人的奴隶制遗产、殖民后美国土著人的处境以及亚裔美国移民的特定情况。这些例子为理解种族和族裔增添了复杂性。 3. 模块名称：今天种族主义的遗产 描述：在第三模块中，课程转向当代美国社会中种族与族裔多样性的复杂现实，探讨的议题包括地理隔离和种族偏见。 4. 模块名称：美国社会机构中的种族与族裔 描述：课程最后一模块研究制度性种族主义、系统性社会不平等及歧视模式。 通过本课程，学生将对美国的种族和文化多样性有更深刻的理解和认知，能够更好地分析和反思这一主题对当代社会的影响。

Name:Historical Legacies of Race in the United States
Description:This module begins to address in greater detail a number of specific issues in the context of the United States: the legacy of slavery in the case of African Americans, the position of native Americans post colonization, and the particular circumstances of Asian American immigrants. These examples raise further complexity in the understanding of race and ethnicity.

Name:Race and Ethnicity in American Social Institutions
Description:The course concludes in this fourth module with an investigation of institutional racism, systemic social inequalities, and patterns of discrimination.
Learners will deepen their understanding and appreciation of ways in which race, ethnicity and cultural diversity have shaped American institutions, ideology, law, and social relationships from the colonial era to the present. Race and ethnicity are ideological and cultural categories that include all groups and individuals. Hence, this course is designed in significant part to take a broad look at the ideology of race and cultural diversity in America’s past and present. The primary focus is on the historical and social relationships among European Americans, Native Americans, African Americans, Latino/as, and Asian/Pacific Americans. Issues of race and ethnicity are examined across different ethno-cultural traditions in order to interweave diverse experiences into a larger synthesis of the meaning of race and ethnicity in American life. In this course, we conceive of “race” and “diversity” as references to the entire American population, even as we recognize that different groups have unique historical experiences resulting in distinctive and even fundamental cultural differences. We treat race and ethnicity as dynamic, complex ideological and cultural processes that shape all social institutions, belief systems, inter-group relationships, and individual experiences.
