ANSO 343-01, Racial and Ethnic Minorities, Spring 2005

Abstract

We will use fundamental sociological concepts and theoretical perspectives to examine immigration and multiple race/ethnic identities, experiences, and relations, primarily within the United States. The course will survey a broad range of topics, with many touching on controversial debates that surround social stratification issues. By the end of the course, students should have the conceptual and theoretical tools to apply sociological perspectives of race/ethnicity to their everyday lives, to the lives of “others,” and to American society.
