SC 375 American Economic Crisis and Social Change (Spring: 3)
Offered Periodically
To get Sociology credit for the major or minor, you must register for SC
375 rather than the cross-listed course.
This course offers a new way to think about America, focusing on our values,
our intertwined economic and social crises exploding in the 2008 Wall Street
meltdown, and systemic solutions. Our economic problems include growing
poverty and inequality, a shrinking job market, and the failure of many
of our industries and corporations to compete globally; our social crisis
includes the growth of violence, family breakdown, global warming, overweening
corporate power and erosion of democracy. We look at new visions and social
movements to transform our socio-economic system.
