Alfred State offers a course, "Power, Privilege, & Difference," which "examines the social forces at work directing the distribution of power and privilege in American society. Using a sociological perspective, students learn about the multiple hierarchies defined by class, race/ethnicity, gender, and sexuality and the consequences of one's location in them. Students will learn intersectionality theory and its application to the study of inequality; that 'difference' is socially constructed in systems of privilege to create 'otherness,' and, in turn, prejudice and discrimination."
-
Alfred State's Library offers research guides on systemic racism.
-
ASC's e Center for Equity, Inclusion, and Title IX provides a list of "anti-racist" resources which include: "A Kids Book About Racism," How To Be An Antiracist," and "Me and White Supremacy."
