The Critical Race Theory Colloquium employs a workshop-format that enables students to engage leading scholars in the field of Critical Race Theory. The first session will involve a general overview of Critical Race Theory. During six of the remaining meetings, an invited scholar will present a work-in-progress for discussion. Students will write a short reaction paper for each of the works presented. The student papers will be given to workshop presenters before each workshop. Final grades depend on the reaction papers, class participation, and attendance. NOTE: This class does not satisfy the upper-class writing requirement. GRADING NOTICE: This class will not offer the CR/NC/H option. **A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar (designated by an (S) in the title), or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar. Students who are on a wait list for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment.
