SOCY-553 Intersectionality: Theory and Research

(3)

This course examines intersectionality as both an analytical tool and a conceptual framing that has developed into a broad web of theoretical and empirical work examining how race, class, and gender interact in meaningful and complex ways. The focus includes important methodological assumptions and complications of intersectionality, as well as contemporary challenges such as the discussions of positionalities ignored in initial framings of intersectionality, including age, disability, and sexuality. Usually offered alternate springs. Prerequisite: three courses in sociology including SOCY-210, SOCY-351, or SOCY-354; or graduate standing.
