    Description
    In this course, students will explore sociology as a way of understanding the complex world around us. Students will learn how the discipline explains social, cultural, political, and economic forces. Using a global, sociological perspective, students will critically examine topics including, but not limited to: socialization, culture, social constructionism, social inequality, intersectionality, and systemic oppression. Course content will include lecture, activities, storytelling, media, and discussion, and will reflect the histories and lived experiences of California Community College students.
