Social Relationships and Responsibility: Intersectionality

Theme: Intersectionality

This interdisciplinary seminar is an introduction to modern social theory. Employs critical social theories to explore social relationships and examine society from positions of race, class, gender and sexuality, focusing specifically on the rights, responsibilities and obligations of individuals and communities. Integral to this examination are the experiences of those excluded from the Western ideals of freedom and equality that, arguably, form the basis of liberal democracy. In this class we will examine socio-legal theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of legal rules, frameworks, and institutions in critical context.

S/U grading. No course credit will be given for students who miss three or more classes in the quarter.
