Course Information
Description
This course is an introduction into the sociological study of Social Inequality. Students will learn about sociological theories and read empirical research describing how social inequality is produced and reproduced in various institutions (e.g. the family, neighborhood and labor market) and through different mechanisms (e.g. socialization, segregation, discrimination). We will explore what it would take to address these different sources of social inequality in America, and learn from comparisons with other countries and historical moments.
