SOCI 3073 - Privilege, Power, and Prestige

Credits: 3 Fall, Odd

This course examines the systems in which the central elements of class stratification - privilege, power, and prestige - are created and distributed and addresses the issue of “who gets how much and why?” Topics include a review of the theories and evidence in current stratification studies and a focus on income (poverty) and gender, and other correlates of inequality (such as age, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and religion), both in the United States and around the world.
