SOC 3470 Sociology of Women

Following the ideas of C. Wright Mills, this class connects the “personal troubles” of individual women with the “social issues” pertaining to women as a minority/subordinate group in the United States. It provides a sociological analysis of women in the major institutions in US society, and highlights the intersection of race, class, and gender and the unique manner in which sociologists research these interconnections and women in general.
