Welcome to Theories of Race and Performance (THR 914), a graduate course taught by Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley at The University of Kansas Department of Theatre. This is an inter-textual course that explores interdisciplinary scholarship on race and performance seeking to translate these theories into practical application in various visual, audio and performance texts in popular culture. The course is divided into modules aimed at gaining an understanding of the shifting meaning of race over time and its relationship to ethnicity, gender, sexuality, nation and power. How do we perform our identities? How is race constructed and maintained through performance? To begin to answer these questions, we will examine the ways in which racial identities are created through performance.
