Kareem Khalifa

Philosophy of Race was a new course at the time it was being taught. I have very fond memories in that class. Professor Khalifa was teaching, and I grew on to have a very good relationship with him. Now that he’s gone though, this review and class is irrelevant as he was the only one willing to teach such a course.

I did not enjoy this class at all. There were a lot of difficult required readings due every class. I did not like the professor's style of teaching because it focused on students creating presentations of the material and students teaching every class for the last two thirds of the semester. Do not take this class if you want an easy class with minimal work.

This is a very difficult class without prior philosophy experience. It’s seminar style and your grade is heavily weighted participation, but you have to speak multiple times to achieve a good participation grade. The readings were really convoluted, and very hard to wrap your brain around, at least for me. I did learn some cool stuff in this class though. If race theory and scientific truth is your passion it’s well worth the effort.
