Comparing the experience of three out of five ethnic groups (e.g. African Americans, Asian Americans, Chicano/Latino, European Americans, and Native Americans) we shall examine historically how each people entered American society and built communities and transformed their cultures in the process. Students will be introduced to the sociological perspective, characteristic methods of research, and such key concepts as culture, community, class, race, social change, and social movements.

The lectures will be held synchronously via zoom, so please plan to attend during the specific weekly class meeting times listed.

Individual conferences and office hours will be done by appointment live-online via zoom.
