Kenyon’s sociology faculty bring expertise in a wide range of fields, including American folklore, legal issues, race, culture, gender, globalization, health, social movements and the intellectual roots of Western social thought. From these areas of expertise, faculty teach students to analyze social patterns, social action and social change. This preparation leads students to success in a wide variety of careers, including education, research, social work, law, non-profit work, social activism, business, politics and graduate studies.

People in the U.S. are aware of social differences, yet few have a precise understanding of social class, the magnitude of inequality or why it exists at all. This course examines social stratification through various political approaches, presenting arguments made by conservatives, liberals, libertarians and radicals.
