SOCI 6602 - Social Inequalities in Organizations

This course examines the pervasive effects of social stratification as they are enacted in organizations. Students will explore how their race, ethnicity, social class, gender, and sexual orientation, for example, impact the people with whom they work. The course will also investigate the theoretical underpinnings of systematic social dominance, and how students might counter this dominance in their workplaces and outside them. Students will also examine the symbiotic relationship between inequality within organizations and the communities that surround them. 3 credits.
