BESC 370 - Intersections of Social Identities

This course explores the intersections among race, class, gender and categories of difference. Students will explore theories of difference in their relation to topics such as education, work, poverty, and the criminal justice system. They will recognize how those intersections and structural inequalities “show up” in their chosen career fields and their civic and personal lives. Students will critically analyze inequality as a “system” rather than as an aggregation of individual identities.
