SOC-3000: Oppression, Power and Privilege

This class explores the nature of oppression, power and privilege both in the United States and throughout the world. Systems of oppression operate on individual, institutional and societal levels through conscious and unconscious actions and beliefs to exploit some people and benefit others. These actions and beliefs are based on perceived membership in social groups including those based upon race, gender, class, age, ability, sexual orientation and religion (to name a few). Lectures, discussions and reading assignments will provide students with substantive information on oppression and privilege as well as their causes and effects. Students will also learn ways to affect systems of privilege and oppression through their praxis for social justice and their professional pursuits.
