Introduction to Sociology. Analysis of the consequences of membership in racial, gender, class and ethnic groups on social, economic and political life.
(Gen.Ed. SB, DU)
Open to first year Exploring Society RAP students in Moore Hall. Students in Exploring Society RAP in Moore Hall will enroll together in "Race, Gender, Class and Ethnicity" (Sociology 106). This course introduces students to the sociological perspective, which we will use to examine race/ethnicity, gender, class, other identity categories, and the intersectionality of these categories. We will develop our understanding of how race/ethnicity, gender, and class?and particularly their social inequalities?exist within society and allow students to think about and discuss strategies that can work to reduce such inequalities.
