ESS 33218 - Education and Social Stratification

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Education

Description:

Education is one of the best predictors of occupational success and it is often viewed as one of the best ways to achieve social mobility. Given the emphasis placed on educational attainment in contemporary society, it is important that we consider the following questions: To what extent does the current educational system succeed in improving the opportunities of all members of society? To what extent does the educational system reinforce existing social inequality? In this course we explore these questions in detail by examining the relationships between education, social class, race and ethnicity, and gender.
