SSCI 1300U – Social Problems

This course introduces students to the analysis of social and political problems using different theories, concepts and methods. These theories and the way in which people approach political and social problems are often based upon a particular view of the concept of justice and equality. We examine different social and political issues and show how they interact with both theory and practice in dealing with these conceptions of justice and equality. The course looks critically at gender, race, class and age among other barriers to achievement.
