SOC 210 Social Intelligence

This course explores systemic obstacles faced by specific groups and how they impact the lives of its individual members. Students will come to a deep understanding of how the terms “inequality” and “inequity” refer to the disadvantages of whole groups of people based on factors such as age, ethnicity, gender, race, health or socioeconomic status. In this course, students will experience perspectives other than their own and engage in thoughtful, respectful dialogue about controversial issues to gain proficiency in civil discourse. In so doing, students will further develop self and social awareness, problem solving and communication skills.
