UGA On-Site Faculty Member - Dr. Vanessa Gonlin

Dr. Vanessa Gonlin is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Georgia. Her research focuses on colorism, interracial relationships, and racial identity(ies), emphasizing minoritized perspectives. Dr. Gonlin has published in journals such as Sociology of Race and Ethnicity, Ethnic and Racial Studies, and Diversity in Higher Education. An award-winning educator, Dr. Gonlin created, developed, and teaches the course Colorism and Hairism in Communities of Color, which is the first course of its kind at her university. Extending the outreach of this message, Dr. Gonlin has shared her expertise on colorism with universities such as Georgetown University in Qatar and New York University Abu Dhabi and with organizations including WebMD, Macmillan Learning, and the International Women’s Forum to facilitate understanding of the impact of colorism across multiple communities.

Course Description: This course centers two forms of discrimination - colorism and hairism - which are global phenomena yet remain highly under-discussed. The goal of this course is to understand how colorism and hairism impact multiple communities of color. Students will be able to learn about and discuss forms of discrimination that are pervasive but not often discussed – discrimination due to skin color shade and hair texture. We will use empirical data to analyze how inter- and intraracial discrimination based on skin color and hair texture and hairstyle are forms of discrimination seen in virtually every social institution. Students will learn the history and rationale behind colorism and hairism; the anti-Black sentiment that permeates these forms of discrimination; gain knowledge of contemporary research on skin tone, colorism, and hairism; and learn how to fight against these forms of discrimination.

Tutorials

In the remaining eight-week session, classes will be taught by Oxford faculty using the one-on-one Oxford tutorial format where students meet with their tutors in small groups and follow an intensive study course of research and writing. In more popular classes such as 'Shakespeare', students may expect to meet in a small group of 2-3 with the professor, but most tutorials are individualized. The semester curriculum at Oxford is tailored to individual student needs, so that students can make progress toward graduation while studying abroad. This accounts for the multitude of different courses offered. Besides the courses listed here we are able to offer numerous other options drawing on the rich faculty resources of Oxford University. Please contact our office if you are considering participating on a semester program and would like to discuss the possibility of taking a course at Oxford not listed here.
