SOC 410: Identity: Gender, Race, Ethnicity, and Class

Number of Sections: 1 | Days and Times: T&TH (17:10-18:50 ICT)

Course Description

Have you ever wondered why the identification of someone with a particular identity category or categories—gender, race, ethnicity, and/or class—has consequences on their life? In the course, we will consider this question and study how we are identified in these terms through social relations and structures. We will examine this identifying social process and its mechanisms from sociological, anthropological, and historical perspectives. Throughout the course, we will also critically analyze these identity terms, as well as the social practices and discourses related to them.
