T3 4400 - Seminar in Wealth and Poverty
The aim of the course is to provide students with an appreciation of the ways in which the intersectionality of class, race, ethnicity and gender shape inequality of economic and social opportunities. The course draws on readings from Geography, Sociology, Economics, Literature, Women and Gender Studies and other disciplines. It begins with an investigation of systems of power and inequality with specific attention to race and racism and gender and sexism and their intersectionality with other forms of difference. The structure of social institutions and their influence in everyday life that produces wealth and inequality will also be examined. The relationship between population and environment will be examined through a gendered and economic lens. The economic and social-political dimensions of global inequality will be highlighted through case studies. The course will wrap up with an analysis of a recent biography and novel that will be carefully selected to allow students to synthesize information covered in the course. The course will integrate class meetings with related activities on campus, and wrap up with a wealth and poverty research expo open to OU faculty and students.
