- Class Description:
- This course is an analytical overview of the three major forms of inequality in the United States today: race, class, and gender. Our strategy will be to get a good working knowledge of these social forces conceptually, institutionally, and in terms of the everyday social life indicated in these identities. Thus, by the end of the session, you should have a good working knowledge of race, class, and gender as categories of analyses and discourse in American society. This course meets the writing intensive requirement. Two papers and a final take-home are the summer session requirements. We will draw on films, small group discussion, and reflections to engage class ideas and materials.
