The course, first flagged by The College Fix, is set to be taught by professor Hanna Garth, who describes herself on her website as someone who is “broadly interested in the ways in which people struggle to overcome structural violence.”
“All of my research, teaching, and mentoring is designed around my commitment to feminist methodologies and critical race theory,” Garth explains on the site.
Some of Garth’s previous course offerings include “Race and Racisms,” “Postcolonial and Decolonial Theory,” and “Theories of Social Justice.”
The teaching of critical race theory has received increased criticism in recent months, with more than two dozen states introducing some sort of effort to ban its introduction in public schools.

I think it’ll cause people to think of themselves more as a member of particular race based on skin color, rather than based on the content of their character and based on their hard work and what they’re trying to accomplish in life.”
