授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか)Outline and objectives
This class sees our society through the lens of race, class and gender to understand how privilege and inequality are produced, maintained, naturalized and challenged. The course will look at how various inequalities are connected to one another through examining global, national and local issues. Students will learn to analyze how race, class, gender, and sexuality are connected to each other as intersecting inequalities in a society and the world, and on that basis, consider the possibility of an equal but diverse world.
到達目標Goal
Through lectures, discussion and written assignments, students will learn concepts and theories to analyze how race, class, gender and sexuality affect individuals and society. They will learn to apply these analytical tools and knowledge to form critical opinions on current issues related to various bases of inequalities. Students will acquire skills in critical thinking, analysis and writing that can be applied in other academic fields as well as future careers.

その他の重要事項Others
Students are strongly encouraged to take Race, Class and Gender II after completing Race, Class, Gender I. Students who have passed Race, Class and Gender I will be given admission priority to the seminar, Intersectionality: Multiple Inequalities.
Our goal in this class will not be to memorize or master a series of clear-cut answers; rather, by engaging in lively discussions, we aim to hone our ability to ask critical questions so as to further develop our skills as writers, readers and thinkers. In order to create such a learning environment, students should speak to each other and the instructor with respect. Abusive and harsh language will not be tolerated. Students with special needs should notify the instructor as early as possible, no later than the third week of the semester.
Prerequisite
Students who intend to enroll in this class are expected to have passed Introduction to Sociology. This prerequisite may be waived if students have taken courses in Cultural Studies or Cultural Anthropology.
