Description:

The purpose of this course is to examine racial and ethnic diversity in American society both historically and currently. The course will introduce you to a number of sociological explanations and theoretical issues in the study of minority and majority group relations. The specific experiences of different racial and ethnic groups in contemporary American society will also be examined. We will also explore the interrelationships of gender, race, ethnicity, and class to gain an understanding of current social conditions which affect us all. By examining the intersections of race, class, and gender we can see a diversity of experiences and think about ways in which these experiences can (and do) reshape and enrich American society.
