The course will draw from a variety of disciplines including sociology, economics, political science, history, and urban planning. It will consist of a range of activities including classroom discussions, student presentations, films, policy papers, and more. Most importantly, the seminar will actively engage all participants in their learning. Race and class have constituted major sources of conflict in the United States since the beginning of the nation. Scholars, policymakers, and advocates from a range of professions and perspectives have offered divergent analyses and recommendations for how to cross the schisms of race and class in the U.S. Our job is to understand and critically analyze these varied viewpoints in order to make sense of the significance of race and poverty in our nation’s cities and throughout American society.}, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={Squires, Gregory}, year={2010}, month={Apr.} }
