SOC 2110 American Minority Relations
The United States has a rich history of cultural diversity, yet it is also a history marked by social tension and inequality. This course examines how cultural identities—including race, gender, sexuality, ability, age, social class, and religion—have developed and changed within societal power structures. You'll explore historical and contemporary systems of inequality, focusing on racism and other forms of oppression, and analyze the experiences and contributions of marginalized groups that have shaped American society from a sociological perspective. By exploring the individual and institutional experiences of minority groups in the United States, you will be better prepared to navigate the complexities of our increasingly diverse society.
