Class Description:

Minnesota is among the worst states in the nation in terms of racial inequalities. Disparities in housing cause and create these racial inequalities. Why does Minnesota have racial inequalities in housing? In this course, we will use hands-on learning (community engaged learning, empirical data about case studies, guest speakers, and group work) as well as readings, lectures, and discussions. We will investigate structural and systemic processes related to the creation and maintenance of the current highly-unequal situation, then look at impacts of housing inequalities on other aspects of life such as wealth, health, and education. The final project is an empirical case study prepared for state, tribal, and/or local leaders and policy makers.
Who Should Take This Class?:
People who have some prior experience with sociological perspectives and have interest in doing community engaged learning. This is a great class for experiential learners.
Grading:
Grading is primarily based on engagement in individual and small group projects, working with a community engaged learning partner, and written work (including the final project case study).
Exam Format:
Any exams will be in short answer format.
Class Format:
Small group and large group discussions, guest speakers, some lectures, emphasis on and support for developing an in-depth project, connection of class material to community engaged learning site.

Class Description:
If you want to understand a society, look at what it is obsessed with. This course provides a broad view of the role of drinking in social life, using alcohol as a prism through which we can begin to understand a great deal about moral and social divides in our society and different ways of understanding youth, risk and belonging. Why does our popular culture simultaneously mythologize and pathologize drinking? How does American culture differ from others in terms of alcohol use and attitudes about it? Why has drinking become such a central part of college life, and with what consequences? How are gender, class, ethnicity and community reflected in our attitudes about drinking and our attempts to control the behavior of others?
