AAAS 404 - Dissed:Differ,Power,Discrim

Institution:

University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

Subject:

Description:

Have you ever been dissed? Why are some people targets of disrespect? This class examines the unequal distribution of power - social, economic, and political - in the United States and other countries that results in favor for privileged groups. We will examine a variety of institutional practices and individual beliefs that contribute to disrespect. We'll look at ways that beliefs and practices, like viewing inequality as consequence of a 'natural order', obscure the processes that create and sustain social discrimination. We will engage in the intellectual examination of systems, behaviors, and ideologies that maintain discrimination and the unequal distribution of power and resources. Students will not receive credit for both AAAS 404 and AAAS 504. 3.000 Credit hours 2.000 Lecture hours 1.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Discussion, Lecture CASL - Administration Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
