- Authors
Eden, Jason
- Abstract
In this article the author provides examples to college teachers on ways in which to approach teaching students about the concept of racial ideologies. He argues that students often have difficulty comprehending that race is a socially constructed concept and presents various teaching methods he uses in his college history courses to explore the origins of race as an aspect of society. He also uses multiple theoretical models to explain how humans are responsible for the formation of racial ideology, discusses the documentary films "Race: The Power of an Illusion" and "Africans in America," and mentions ways in which these approaches to teaching about race have benefited his students.
