Class Description:
Description: Same-sex marriage at the Supreme Court, the #blacklivesmatter movement, Patricia Arquette's Oscar night pitch for wage equality for women?these are just a few of the current controversies that this course will help you better understand. A sociological perspective on race, class, and gender suggests that such categories are not objective measures of biological or ?natural" differences, but are instead the result of historical struggles over economics, politics, and cultural identities.Thinking about how race, class, and gender work and have changed over time is central to understanding society. These social constructions, whether simultaneously or separately, organize our everyday lives. In this course we will explore what race, class, and gender are, how they are maintained, and what effects they have. To do so, we will work together to develop your critical thinking, media literacy, and writing skills. Since this is a writing-intensive course, assignments are designed to gradually build your ability to articulate an original argument clearly and concisely by building on convincing evidence.
