SOC 332 - Comparative Majority-Minority Relations

Prerequisite

SOC 100 (General Sociology) or SOC 105 (Social Problems).

Description

Discrimination, ideology, power, policy issues in the U.S. and in a global community. We will be active in examining the roots of prejudice and discrimination, as well as discovering solutions to the problems that face our world in regards to race, ethnicity, power, class, and social structure.

This class implements a large variety of media in an attempt to create an online learning experience that is very "face to face" and "personal." We accomplish this through the use of many videos uploaded weekly; online chats and discussions; a focus on constant email contact; and access to speaking directly to the professor as well as the potential to meet in person.

We will not only look at the past, and the present, but we will examine the future of relations between people of differing ethnicities, and we will examine ways in which we can create a more equitable society. We will also be active in observing and interacting with our local communities, and form solutions to the many social problems we face. Great fun, a very interactive class experience, and lots of learning! Please join us!
