SOCI 3350 - Intersections of Race, Class, and Gender

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: SOCI 2201.
This course fills a gap in the curriculum as systems of social inequality, such as race, class, and gender are generally recognized as intersecting. We already offer separate courses in race and ethnicity, social class and mobility and the sociology of gender. By including an examination of race, class, and gender in one course grounded in an intersectionality perspective students will be more readily able to understand the ways in which such systems of inequality are created and perpetuated, how they interconnect, and the consequences of their multiplicative effects.
