XSS 240 - Social Structures and Change

0 Credits

Connections Block: SCD 235-B909 Forces of Change and SOC 225-B909 Social Problems This block examines the relationship between the social problems of today and the successes and failures of past political and social movements. Students gain a strong understanding of the structural processes that shape contemporary social problems and examine the role previous generations have played in shaping institutions, hindered societal development, and/or fostered social, cultural, economic, and political change. Throughout the block, students acquire the intellectual tools necessary to identify social problems and how to work to alleviate those problems going forward.
