This is an introductory course to radical social theory. Our focus is the history of social thought in the West, and the post-colonial critiques of some of these ideas. In this course, students will learn that "radical" means "at the root," and radical social theory is theory that explains the roots of social inequalities and proposes ways of transforming society to achieve justice.
NOTE: this class is set up with cameras and audio recording for Lecture Capture.
