LAS 317 - Subcultures, Diversity, and the Self in American Society

3 hours
This course examines multiple categories of subculture including race, ethnicity, social class, gender, religion, national origin, and sexual orientation as bases of diversity and majority-minority relations in American society. What is the relationship between the various categories of subculture and social inequality, life chances, inclusion and exclusion, group identity, and social, economic, and political participation? How has society grappled with the tensions inherent in cultural/group diversity? And how can the individual as a member of this multicultural/multi-social society develop a sense of acceptance and tolerance for those who are different from his/her own group?

Prerequisite(s): Junior standing.
