Description

This course explores differing sociological theories of why inequality exists and how it affects us, and offers alternatives toward a more economically and socially just society. While the United States is the main focus, attention is also given to global inequality. The major emphasis is on socio-economic class, including intersections of class with race and gender. Students will learn about the US upper class, middle class, working class, and poverty class.
