SOC 235 - Education and Society Credits: 3 This course explores the question of whether schools effectively level the playing field for those most disadvantaged in our society or exacerbate trenchant disparities. The course considers historical perspectives regarding the purpose of education; theoretical approaches to inequality in education; demographic differences in educational outcomes over time; family, peer, school context, and neighborhood effects on education; and the effect of social policies on schools and educational outcomes.
