Welcome to Race and Ethnic Relations!

We're on quite a journey together this semester!  I'm honored that you are in this class. :)


Welcome to our class website.  Many of the materials you will need for the class will be posted here.  You don't need to go to Canvas or anywhere else... everything is right here!

I will be posting assignments, lecture notes/Powerpoints, handouts, videos and grades on this site.  It should be fairly simple and straightforward. Please let me know of any way I can enhance your learning experience.

If you come across articles, videos, news items, etc., that you think would be of interest to the class, please EMAIL them to me (Mark.Shelley@yc.edu), and I will upload them to our site so other students can take advantage of them.

Again, welcome aboard.  I hope you find the semester both stimulating and challenging!
