- 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:
- Understanding the social significance of race, class, and gender is pivotal to understanding society itself. These social constructions organize our everyday lives and, their implications?both independently and in relation to each other?are far-reaching for everyone. And, as constructions, these dynamic social categories require constant maintenance. This course will explore the roles and functions of these categories, how we maintain them, and their larger implications. To achieve this objective, strong critical thinking and writing skills are required. Critical analysis goes beyond mere summary of someone else's idea; it requires an additional level of inquiry based upon a synthesis of multiple perspectives and a deeper reading of the central concepts. Regardless of your current and future interests, the capacity to critically analyze a complex phenomenon and powerfully articulate your idea in written form is indispensible. As a writing-intensive course, the assignments and exams for this course are intended to develop and strengthen your ability to clearly and concisely articulate an original argument with convincing supporting evidence.

- 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 bases of identity, stratification, and inequality. 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. We will divide our time between lecture, small and large group discussion, and viewing segments of documentary films. This is a writing-intensive course, and students will be expected to do a good deal of formal and informal writing. Active participation in discussion and engagement with the ideas is a must. In this class, you will connect the concepts drawn from the materials to your own life experiences and thoughts about the world, and learn from the experiences and thoughts of others. In the first weeks of the class, we examine the social construction of Race, Class, Gender and Sexuality in American society. We then move to look at the workings of these concepts in different interpersonal and institutional settings. These include the Labor Force, Schools, the Family, the Criminal Justice System, understanding Violence, and the politics of Language. In the last week of the class we discuss individual and corporate approaches to overcoming injustice.
