Relevant Yale

Courses 20-21

Below is a partial and growing list of Graduate and Undergraduate Yale courses that may be relevant to studies of race and inequality as it is inscribed in space. Broad in scope, it includes courses from various disciplines and practices. It is only intended as a resource as students organize their studies.

Note: Many of these courses offer several cross-list options. To keep the list shorter, courses are listed under only one department title. Please note: the full course schedule of the 2020-21 academic year has yet to be announced for many of Yale’s departments, including the School of Architecture. We will update this listing regularly as we learn more information. In addition, some courses have not yet been listed on courses.yale.edu, and some are undoubtedly missing. Please contact YSOA.MED@gmail.com with additional courses that may not appear here, or if you notice anything that should be amended.
