Class Description:

In this course we examine race, class, and gender as axes of stratification, identity, and experience. More importantly, we learn how these and other crucial aspects of social identity intersect to form a complex matrix of privilege and power. Our goal is to understand the multiple and intersecting ways that these concepts shape American society and influence each of our lives, life-chances, and daily interactions.


This course meets the Diversity and Social Justice in the U.S. theme, the Social Sciences core, and the Writing Intensive.

Learning Objectives:

In this course, students will:

-Explore the social construction of race, class, gender, as well as ethnicity, sexuality, citizenship, and (dis)ability;

-Consider how race, class, gender, and other dimensions of social organization shape individual experiences and interactions with social institutions such as education, work, medicine, and law;

-Develop and use a 'sociological imagination' to analyze privilege and inequalities;

-Learn how to develop a sociological research question, review relevant literatures, design a project, and write a research proposal
