What forms or levels of inequality are acceptable or inevitable? Which ones are not? What circumstances in the United States related to inequality are unique to this setting? How can these questions be productively explored from different disciplinary perspectives? How do you know when you know something? What sorts of evidence will convince you to change your mind? What convictions do you hold not subject to empirical consideration? What assumptions inform your convictions and how you weigh different kinds of logic or evidence? How do different academic disciplines respond to such issues? These are the questions that will guide this course. We will examine the topic of inequality from the perspective of multiple academic disciplines, including philosophy, history, sociology, anthropology, psychology, political science and economics. Every Tuesday our class will meet as one group and one of the four faculty members will take the lead. Every Tuesday we will split into four sections for smaller conversations. At least as important as mastering the substance of the material, a primary goal of this course is to cultivate several important skills. Students will demonstrate the ability to: 1. distinguish among the different academic disciplines and perspectives. 2. read critically, and gather and interpret evidence from different disciplines.

2 3. consider and address the complexities and ambiguities involved interdisciplinary study. 4. make connections among ideas. 5. recognize choices, examine assumptions, and ask questions of themselves relative to interdisciplinary study. 6. formulate conclusions based upon critically interpreted evidence. 7. communicate ideas in writing. 8. communicate ideas orally. 9. relate the results of the course to their educational goals. Requirements: Attendance and Participation: You will be expected to keep up with weekly readings and be prepared for each class. There will be some lectures, especially on Tuesdays, but discussion will also play an integral role, especially on Thursdays. Participation will count as 10% of your grade. Papers: There will be four short papers We will discuss these further in class. These assignments will each comprise 20% of your grade. Final Project: This will entail some in depth reflection and synthesis of material that we have covered over the course of the semester. This project will be worth 10% of your grade. If you are a student with a disability and believe you will need academic accommodation, you must formally request accommodation from Meg Hegener, Coordinator for Student Access Services. You will also need to provide documentation which verifies the existence of a disability and supports your request. For further information, please call or stop by the office of Student Academic Services in Starbuck Center. Grading: The conventional Skidmore standards will be in effect. A - Distinguished work B - Superior work C - Satisfactory work D - Passing but not satisfactory work F - Failure All readings will be available via Blackboard
