Intersections: Race, Class, Gender

Catalog description

This course has two goals: to learn how to write a review of scholarly literature on a topic and to help students develop a sociological imagination – that is, the ability to pose sociological questions and to find ways to investigate those questions. The course will be organized around important sociological monographs – book length studies – which will examine race, class, and gender. We will spend the semester meticulously breaking apart these studies and writing a literature review so that students can understand the process of conducting and writing about sociological research.
