Description:

Economics of Race, Class, and Gender Not offered 2008-09. Three credits. The course takes a global, historical, and interdisciplinary perspective on the interactions between race, class, ethnicity, and gender. Using data, methods, and theories from economics, sociology, and anthropology, the course covers such topics as wealth and income inequality, wage gaps, discrimination, and household production and distribution. The course also surveys the contribution of economics to the construction of categories of race, class, and gender by examining readings from women's studies, history, political science, and historical texts such as political economy treatises, census reports, novels, travel writings, and manners guides. The principal focus is on how these texts reflect and contribute to the formation of individual and group identities and to the possibilities for social action.
