Race, class, and gender in the United States: A comprehensive survey provides students with a compelling and clear survey on race, gender, and sexual behavior issues within the classroom. Rothenberg asked 126 students to read the teaching materials, each offering a different viewpoint and seeing how society, gender, class and gender in society are structured. Rotenberg helps students skillfully and continually analyze their phenomena and their relationships, thereby deepening their understanding of each problem surrounding race and ethnicity.

In this course we will analyze the dynamics of ethnic relations in the Atlantic world through intersections of race, sex and social class. We will explore social history, the current interaction of 'race' in various situations and cultures, and the construction of ethnic identity. We will also study asymmetric power relationships among people who are very familiar, using concrete examples of movies, music, literature, and world events. An important aspect of the curriculum is the deconstruction of whiteness, blackness, and other norms in the context of group interaction and power distribution. This course focuses on concrete examples from North America, the Caribbean region, Latin America.

The purpose of this course is to introduce students about the race, class and gender relationship in Brazil since 1930. The course includes contemporary public issues on positive behavior. Historically, Brazilian ethnic research focused on comparing Brazil and the United States, and mixed-race and African Brazilians negotiated their social position if they were middle-class It is not important to be superior to race or sex as you can do. We need to consider the economic and political change that took place in Brazil, and the Afro-Brazilian education, ethnic self-identification and identity formation. Brazilian gender and ethnic research began in the 1990s, most of which focused on income disparity between black women and white women.
