SOCI 166 : Race, Class and Gender

We live in an unequal society in which social class, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and other similar distinctions powerfully influence the lives we are able to live. In this course we will investigate and discuss the patterns of unequal social relations between different social groups: how they express themselves in our lives, what their consequences are, how they came to be, how they have evolved over time, why they persist, and what has been and might be done to overcome them.
