◆SOCIAL STRATIFICATION - (前)
CLAMMER JOHN
○講義概要
The study of social inequality has always been central to sociology, and some strands of the discipline (for example Marxist influenced ones) have their origin in concerns with the differential distribution of resources, status and power and the social justice implications of this. In this course we will address the conceptual, comparative and social policy implications of different patterns and forms of social stratification. We will explore the main macro-forms of social inequality, including class, caste, status, ranking and power and their contemporary expressions in inequalities of ethnicity, gender, age and access to cultural, political, economic and technological resources. These can be rather abstract categories unless they are related to the reproduction of inequalities in everyday life, and a hopefully innovative aspect of this course will be the creation of a dialectic between sociological theories and the actual experience of and struggling against ever reappearing forms of social discrimination, some of which you have undoubtedly encountered in your own lives, or sadly have even helped to reproduce through conscious or unconscious behavior or attitudes.
○評価方法
Naturally doing the assigned reading, handing in papers on time, taking the mid-term and final exams and contributing to class discussion. Class attendance is required and grades will suffer seriously from non-participation. This is not a distance-learning course and classes will not simply repeat what is in the texts, but will be the place where we debate the issues, share ideas and talk about alternatives. Evaluation for the course will consist of a mid-term exam, a paper and a final exam. Each exam will constitute 30% of the total marks, the paper 30% and attendance and participation 10%.
