EDUC 6644 - Social Stratification in Community Organizations


This course examines the pervasive effects of social stratification as they are enacted in public organizations such as schools, community centers, and human service agencies. 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 public organizations and the communities that surround them.
3 credit hours.
