SOC 350 - Race and Ethnic Relations

3 credits
Prerequisite(s): ENG 122  
A critical examination of race, ethnicity, and their persistence in institutions from a sociological perspective, the course examines how race and ethnicity are socially and politically defined; how sociological theories have traditionally and contemporarily analyzed racial and ethnic inequalities; the most up-to-date research on the extent of racial/ethnic inequalities across several key social institutions; and social justice/social change efforts to reduce racism, along with social and political barriers to such efforts.  Issues are considered from an American and global perspective.
