This is a course on social inequality. In this course, we will seek to understand the effects and reproduction of social inequality in the United States. We will try to answer questions such as: What is Inequality? How does it matter? How does it work? How do parents’ social class and other aspects of their life situations impact their kids’? How do government policies matter?
Although we won't be discussing international inequalities, I wanted to share this video on educational inequality in Brazil. Here, two high school students discuss the lack of resources and inequality between favelas and the rest of Brazil.
Thanks for posting, Alejandra. I do hope to have as much international comparison in our discussions (online and in person) as possible, although there is not much in the assigned readings.
