Cross Ref: SOC 309, ANTH 309 This course examines the economic, sociopolitical and cultural aspects of globalization within the framework of contemporary debates about the phenomenon. The main focus is on how globalization affects gender roles, ideologies and the experiences of men and women in transnational contexts. Our own discussion of the meaning of globalization addresses questions about the novel character of globalization, shifts in labor and production practices, and the contested relevance of the nation-state. These guiding issues help shape discussions about the formation of gender identities, the transformation of gender divisions of labor in host countries, in "home countries," and in transnational spaces, and organized responses to globalizing forces.

Cross Ref: SOC 325, CJ 325 This course introduces students to the complex and subtle ways social inequality is produced and reproduced in and through U.S. law and social practices. We will examine race, class, sex and gender hierarchies as interrelated systems, none of which can be fully understood without reference to the others. We will explore how any individual's multiple statuses (race, class, gender, sexuality) combine to produce sets of privileges and constraints. We will also examine the effects of social experiences on social perspectives. The course has a historical emphasis, examining 19th- and 20th-century roots of contemporary social arrangements in U.S. law and society. The course includes challenging abstract material about theories of race, gender, class, culture and power.

Our analysis takes us through at least three major strains of legal argument that begin with different assumptions and lead to different policy outcomes, all powerful, all persuasive, but none readily reconcilable. As a result, we are confronted with questions of gender equity and social justice. Can we produce fairness Can we preclude harming citizens with the instrument of law
