Students will explore (1) the historical background and current functioning of the various institutions and organizations which embody these power relations (i.e. families, schools and universities, social service agencies, criminal justice system, health organizations, etc.), (2) specific cultures that are produced within each of these bodies and agencies, and (3) limits and internal contradictions of these institutions.
