- 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.
