| Description | This course provides a comprehensive and systematic exploration of the roots, realities and consequences of social inequality. Students examine how class, gender, anti-Black racism, race/ethnicity, and broader social, political and economic structures shape power, privilege and oppression across communities. Through an anti-oppressive and social justice lens, learners analyze how inequality is produced, reinforced and contested within social institutions, including the media. Throughout the course, students reflect on their own social location, power and privilege alongside the ethical and professional responsibilities of human service work, developing culturally responsive, equity-focused practices that support meaningful and sustainable change. |
