This course examines how intersectionality shapes political behavior, attitudes, and opinions across diverse communities in the United States. By engaging with both canonical and contemporary political science literature, students will explore foundational theories alongside cutting-edge research to understand the complex interplay of race, class gender, and other identities in American politics. Topics include intersecting identities' impact on political participation, mobilization, policy preferences and attitudes, and perceptions of political representation. We will also explore how intersectional identities inform current policy discussions on racialized policies, including debates on immigration, policing, and racial justice. Through critical readings, applied projects, and discussions, students will develop a nuanced understanding of how intersectionality informs the political behavior of marginalized community members.
