Inequality in American Society

Catalog description

This 1-credit course has been created to enhance the understanding of students about inequality and racism. This course is taught by faculty from departments across the university, and, as such, has an interdisciplinary lens. Students will be able to take the ideas they learn in this course and apply them critically to multiple dimensions of inequality with the intent to dismantle harmful effects of racism and inequality within our democratic society. Ignatian pedagogy encourages us to learn, reflect, and act – we hope that students will use this course as a foundation for future action. The course should be taken in a student’s first four (4) semesters at SJU (including all transfer students except those coming in under block transfers) in conjunction with their Major and their schedule constraints.
