Description
In this course, students explore issues related to the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexual identity. Special attention is given to systems of privilege and oppression, which are examined through many lenses: psychological, social, relational, linguistic, and institutional. Discussion topics also include: mplicit bias, wage gaps, wealth inequality, law enforcement and immigration policy, homophobia and transphobia, and interventions aimed at transforming oppressive systems. All research will be informed by empirical study as well as the lived experiences of individuals belonging to oppressed
groups. Students will plan and carry out an action designed to promote equity within the community.
