SOC 312 - Society, Culture and Poverty

(4)
Investigates the economic, social and political causes of poverty in the United States in both historical and contemporary context. Examines the ideological bases of victim and culture blaming in political discourse and the effects this has on welfare policy, the perpetuation of poverty, and on defining marginalized groups as undeserving. Students will incorporate field experience to more fully understand and apply important perspectives. Every year.
