SOC253 — Diversity and Inequality
This course examines the social systems of race/ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality as they intersect in U.S. society. Students will develop a conceptual framework for understanding systems of power and oppression on both the micro level of lived experience and the macro level of social instituitions. That theoretical framework will be used to analyze how systems of inequality were constructed historically and how they are perpetuated, resisted, and transformed in contemporary society.
