SOCI 239 - Unequal Spaces

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: SOCI 102 or consent of instructor
Students in this course will develop their sociological imaginations as they study social inequities across places from rural to urban, and across scales from neighborhood to nation. Students will engage with sociological scholarship that recognizes places as a social structure which shapes life changes as forcefully as other social categories including race, class, gender and sexuality, as well as how these categories intersect through space in shaping life chances. During the semester, students will develop research projects which examine social inequality through an issue, place and scale of their choosing. Offered alternate spring semesters. (CSOC; CWRT)
