Course Description:
Race plays an essential role in American politics in meaningful ways. At the same time, data about individuals, organizations, and government has become increasingly available, and social data analytics are transforming how we think about politics and society. This course is a survey of historical and contemporary issues of racial and ethnic minority politics, combined with the teaching of skills necessary to navigate social data. Students will learn basic research design principles, statistical concepts, and foundational R statistical programming. Students will use research methods skills from this foundation to explore how race and ethnicity affect political attitudes, participation, and representation. They will conclude this course by evaluating whether we are in a post-racial society or whether race continues to be at the center of politics. |
