This learning community links SOC 31 (5P, 16944) with SD 10 (18P, 18092) and the Men’s Resource Center. The class will focus on the constricting patterns of stratification, culture, socialization, and institutional inequality. Special emphasis will be placed on examining the disproportionate impact of the criminal justice system on minority groups. Students will learn to utilize the sociological imagination to better understand how societies shape individuals, as well as how individuals shape society. This course is intended to make sense of the twenty first century world through the lenses of the minority experience.
