SOC 5680 - Race, Ethnicity, and Justice


This course addresses the multicultural dynamics that effect the definition(s) and distribution of justice in the United States. The primary focus is the differential treatment of African Americans, American Indians, Latinos, and Asian Americans throughout the major institutions of society, particularly the legal institution. A critical analysis of the social, political, and economic forces that support the current social structure will direct the inquiry.

Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisites: SOC 2000 or 2100, SOC 2600, and SOC 3620, and one upper-level (3000 to 4000) course. SOC 3140 is encouraged.

Credits: 3 hours

Notes: 5000-level courses in the Department of Sociology are designed for a graduate student audience. Advanced undergraduates with at least 12 hours of prerequisites and junior class status will be allowed to enroll. Prerequisites must include SOC 2000 or its equivalent in another related social science discipline; and two 3000- or 4000-level courses (i.e., one of each; or two of one). Exemptions for these may be granted on a case-by-case basis.
