This text explores how the legal history and judicial decisions of the United States contribute to the dynamic societal debates Americans are having around race today. It pairs historical cases and primary sources with contextual commentary to ensure students comprehend how decisions from the past deeply impact the laws they have inherited, as well as shape contemporary issues and political movements. This framework also highlights the distinctive characteristics of the various time periods and how they connect to other eras to provide students with a full appreciation of the events and environments influencing cases. Written in an accessible and engaging style, it avoids the traditional focus of many caselaw books and instead promotes a sound understanding of the legal concepts and dynamics that inform current discussions of racial identities, challenging the usual development of doctrinal law and court decisions defining race. An Instructor Manual is available online, with additional teaching resources and assessment materials for each chapter, to foster meaningful class discussions about future choices and how to pursue a more equal nation.

In 2022, the American Political Science Association initiated a review of the undergraduate major, culminating in the 2024 Presidential Taskforce Report on Rethinking Political Science Education. Focusing on programmatic design rather than classroom instruction, this innovative volume serves as a companion to the report. Addressing challenges like declining enrollments, demographic shifts, and the need for employable skills, it provides research-backed guidance for department-level curriculum development.Led by John Ishiyama and Michelle Deardorff, this book offers insights for making substantial changes to the political science degree. Each chapter highlights case-study examples and high-impact best practices, including curricular assessment, continuous improvement, and demonstrating value. Diverse contributors, experts in the scholarship of teaching and learning, outline specific discipline-based student learning outcomes as well as critical reflection questions. Care is taken to root these considerations in the special concerns of a variety of different academic institution types – community colleges, liberal arts colleges, public universities, and research-intensive universities.By providing rich data and perspectives for implementing program revision, this essential professional resource presents a unique, comprehensive, and applied roadmap for political science administrative leaders and faculty looking to adapt and thrive in an evolving higher education landscape.
