  • GWMS/SOC 264: Gender,Race and Work

    3.00 Credits
    Ursinus College

    Faculty This course examines the intersection of race and class relations as they affect the work trajectories and experiences of women in the United States. According to various social indicators, women and their children remain disproportionately poor, and many women are undereducated and unemployed. These facts have led some social scientists to posit that poor women and children in the U.S. are becoming a seemingly permanent urban underclass. This course explores the way in which the intersection of systems of social organization (race, class, work and gender) operates as a "containment field" so that certain workers do not have legitimateaccess to power. Prerequisite: any 100-level course in Anthropology or Sociology, or permission of instructor. Three hours per week. Four semester hours. (SS.)
