Overview of class

This course is a survey of the modern sociological literature on social stratification and inequality. The course will examine key facts about inequality and how class background, race, and gender shape socioeconomic inequality. We will discuss theoretical and empirical approaches to studying stratification and explore key domains in which stratification is produced, reproduced, and manifested, such as families, schools, the labor market, and neighborhoods. The 2027 version will include a focus on the internet as a set of technologies that influence inequality. The course will focus mostly on the United States and OECD countries.
