Race and Animals
PHIL 279
Spring 2025
Section: 01  

Is there any connection between racism and human exceptionalism? This course will explore questions of if and how the processes of racialization and animalization are linked. Are racialized others always also dehumanized? What is the ontological significance of animalized racial caricatures? How do both processes connect to colonial violence? Readings will draw from a wide variety of disciplines and media, including primary historical sources, philosophical essays, film and documentary, and works in political theory, critical theory, post- and de-colonial theory, and history.
