Culture, Difference, and Inequality

Catalog description

This course is an examination of exemplary, interdisciplinary texts employing a variety of cultural approaches to understanding difference and inequality. In this seminar, we will think about what is gained from various cultural approaches to difference and inequality, now such approaches can be achieved methodologically, and how students can apply such approaches to their own research. The main focus of the course is on cultural studies and poststructural feminist studies, but readings will also be included from intersectionality studies, affect studies, critical race studies and cultural sociology.
