SOC 122 - Education and Society

Upper Division

Prerequisites
All upper-division courses have a prerequisite of SOC 002, or SOC 004, or the consent of the instructor.

This course examines the many roles that schools play in society. In particular, we examine the ways in which schooling either reproduces social inequalities or provides resources for upward social mobility. We examine the ways schools are organized, the connection between schools and other institutions such as families and workplaces, and the ways race, class, and gender are experienced in the classroom.
