SOC 2300 - Social Inequalities and Social Change
This course is a comprehensive survey of the sources, meaning, and consequences of social inequality in its multiple forms including age, class, gender, poverty/wealth, race/ethnicity, sexuality, and spatial dimensions. The course connects these forms to social change processes that can be both a source of or solution to inequality. Whether it is collective action, culture, development, the environment, globalization, population, social institutions, or social structure, social change has many sources, providing an arena for social inequality to play out and intersect in its various forms. Having taken this course, students will have received breadth in the coverage of social inequality and social change, enabling critical analysis of its dynamics and presence in their everyday lives and the larger society. Using a social injustice framework and an informed sociological imagination, the course is intended to prepare students for additional study in more focused and advanced topics in inequality.
