AME 305 - Intersections of Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality

3 CR

This course considers the ways in which race, class, gender, and sexuality (as well as nationality and disability) intersect in people’s lives and the ways in which these interlocking vectors of inequality shape social and cultural systems and structures in American culture and society. The theory and framework of intersectionality, in and beyond the humanities and social sciences, grounds the course’s exploration as we consider the roots of intersectionality as well as the ways in which oppression and privilege operate in a variety of spheres like education, healthcare, the criminal justice system, and popular culture. (This course is cross listed with SSC 305  and WGS 305 .)

Prerequisite(s): WGS 101W , or AME 201W  , or permission of instructor.
