Teaching Race + Capitalism

If you are interested in teaching race and capitalism, or merely eager to read more texts, take a look at the syllabi provided by scholars bringing these issues to the classroom. Here you will find the syllabi for courses taught by Michael Dawson, Hannah Appel, Pedro Regalado, Destin Jenkins, Marcus Lee, Andy Clarno, Tommie Shelby, and Carrie Freshour. They have kindly shared their resources with us, and we ask that you credit them if you plan to use their work.
