SOC-2080 Social Stratification
This course examines the intersectionality between systems of oppression in connection with race/ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, and citizenship. The ways in which multiple axes of power and domination shape human experience and individual lives will be considered. This course enables students to conceive of their own positionality or social location within first-world U.S. society. In investigating the interlocking nature of structures of oppression in connection with these socially-constructed categories, students will begin to see how these systems construct and position subjects around differences in opposition to the dominant "norm."
