Description

This introduction to sociology course examines the historical, cultural, and institutional roots of social inequalities, the manner in which these inequalities intersect, how such systems of stratification are perpetuated, and the consequences of inequality on particular groups within American society.

Race, ethnicity and nationality, as well as class, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and animal-human inequalities will be the focus of our studies. Themes of identity, power, ethics, compassion, democracy, and change are examined from many different perspectives and voices.

In addition to the study of different analytical frameworks, theories and concepts on these controversial issues, we will include stories by or about people who have actually experienced discrimination, prejudice, and exclusion.

Course Requirements:

Class attendance and participation, a 7-page term paper, and three, non-cumulative, tests constitute the course requirements.
