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?  We will focus largely but not exclusively on economic inequality and racial inequality, keeping in mind the wide variety of intersecting forms of inequality that shape individual life experiences.
