SOC 313 Social Stratification

A historically situated, cross-national examination of the ways in which our political, cultural, economic, and social systems reflect and perpetuate economic stratification. Emphasis is placed on the role of personal, cultural, organizational, and institutional forms of racism and sexism (and their various intersections) that perpetuate economic inequality. Possibilities of positive and sustainable social, political, and cultural change are also reviewed.
