Description:

Credit Hours: 3.00. In this course we ask: Who gets what and why? How are power and privilege distributed among individuals and groups in society and why do some enjoy more than others? Who benefits from inequities? We examine how various inequalities (e.g., in income, wealth, property) have evolved over time, and ask how these inequalities shape the life chances of individuals in different socioeconomic, racial/ethnic, and gender groups. Throughout the course we give particular attention to contemporary U.S.A. and to the challenges that recent developments pose for American society.
