typically, you just enter your control variables in the first block of
your linear multiple regression. Then you can see the incremental and
unique variance that ensues as a result of adding your other variables
as the next step(s) in the model.

If you want to include a categorical control variable in your
regression, you would have to convert it to a series of dummy variables
first. A five category race variable, for example, would become five
different variables with values of 0 or 1. Then enter all but one of
the dummy variables into your model.
