Subscribe

Throughout our course so far, we have examined multiple aspects of race, racism, structural discrimination, and ethnocentrism.  In this discussion, we will be applying the knowledge gained so far to examine current inequalities associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and interlocking forms of structural discrimination.

First, please read/watch the articles and short videos posted as the Learning Resources in the Week 5 Course Content area.  Then address the following questions:

· How do the various forms of structural racism build on each other?  Please give at least one specific example.

· What types of long-term harms did you notice in the articles/videos?  How might current harms affect future generations?
