- Race, class, and gender as aspects of social identity and as features of social organization. Experiences of women of color in the United States. Family life, work, violence, sexuality/reproduction. Possibilities for social change.
- Class Description:
- In this course we examine race, class and gender as sites of stratification, inequality and identity in U.S. society. We explore the social construction of our core concepts in the contemporary U.S., asking how they shape each of our lives, life-chances, and daily interactions. This class is designed for majors and non-majors to come together and learn from each other. Together we will explore how race, class and gender shape, and are shaped by, social institutions (including work, education, family, and criminal justice). We will also examine sociological perspectives on policies addressing these inequalities, such as the voting rights act, the social safety net and pay disparities. Class time will consist of small and large group discussions, films, group activities, and lecture. In this writing intensive class we will discuss and practice how to write analytically about these complicated (and often contentious) topics. Students will write and then edit a literature review related the course content in addition to completing some informal writing. Each class will require 30-60 pages of reading, equivalent to a week of a semester-long course.
