SOC-3781: Class, Race, Gender and Sexuality: Exploring Social Inequalities

This course examines class, race, gender and sexuality as categories of social difference. We will address how these categories shape society, individual life-changes, and daily social interactions. The courses takes a social constructivist approach, i.e., rather than focusing on biological differences, we explore how our society shapes the way we come to understand and experience race, class, gender, and sexuality. We will discuss how privilege and oppression are patterned by race, class, gender, and sexuality and how inequalities are perpetuated in institutional and interpersonal contexts. We will learn how these systems of inequality are highly interrelated - a concept called intersectionality. This course will offer you a new way of understanding social inequality and strategies for social change.
