1 Comparative Perspectives on Inequality SOCI W2400 Professor Christel Kesler Barnard College 330 Milbank Hall Spring 2011 Tuesday/Thursday 4:10-5:25 (212) Diana Center LL104 Office Hours: Tuesday 11:00-1:00 or by appointment Course Description This course focuses on the contours, causes, and consequences of social inequality in contemporary American society. Our objective is to put contemporary American inequalities into sharper perspective by comparing them to inequalities in other contemporary societies and in American history. Through such cross-national and historical comparisons, we seek to challenge understandings of social inequality as a natural outgrowth of unequal individual endowments or achievements, and to understand it instead as a characteristic of societies, shaped by political and institutional processes, and ultimately amenable to change. Our comparisons will focus predominantly on other wealthy democratic societies, those most like the United States. However, the theoretical concepts developed in the course will be useful for students with an interest in a range of other countries. Key questions addressed in readings, lectures, and assignments include: How much inequality is there? Are current levels of inequality in the United States high or low? We focus particularly on inequalities in terms of income and wealth, but also devote some attention to the challenges that income and wealth inequalities pose for the purported democratic ideal of political equality ( one person, one vote ). How do gender, race and ethnicity, and the social class into which we are born affect our life chances? Do these axes of social stratification operate differently in different contexts? Social inequality is, at core, a question of who gets what. Gender, race/ethnicity, and class are central to understanding the allocation of economic and social resources in contemporary societies, though the processes of resource allocation vary considerably across time and space. What role do families, schools, labor markets, and governments play in generating and mediating inequalities? A myriad of institutions, operating in constant interaction, generate social inequalities. Our answers to the previous questions ( How much inequality is there? and Who gets what? ) very much depend on families, educational institutions, labor markets, and government policy. Why should we care about inequality? Here, we address key consequences of social inequality in terms of economic growth, democratic vitality, health, and well-being. We focus particular attention on evidence related to the not-so-obvious assertion that inequality has detrimental effects even for those at the top of the social hierarchy.
2 Learning Objectives After successful completion of this course, you will be able to: Demonstrate a basic understanding of current political and academic debates about social inequality in the United States and empirical findings relevant to such debates. Contextualize social inequality in the contemporary United States through systematic crossnational and historical comparisons. Analyze key institutional underpinnings of social inequality. Assessment The following components of the course will comprise your final grade. 1. Mid-term exam, March 10 (25%) 2. Paper, approximately 5000 words, due April 19 (25%) 3. Final exam, May 10, time TBA (35%) 4. Participation (15%) The paper assignment, which will be thoroughly described in an assignment sheet and discussed in class, will be due at the beginning of class on April 19. In the paper, you will identify, synthesize, and critique literature (course readings and additional readings selected in consultation with me) and existing empirical evidence related to one theme of your choice from the course, drawing on an explicit comparison between the United States and one other country. A one-page synopsis of your proposed research topic is due on March 22. The synopsis is not graded, but will be useful in gathering feedback (mine and your classmates ) and refining your topic. Participation refers to quality, thoughtful contributions to class discussion, a necessary but not sufficient condition of which is your physical presence. I will periodically gather your thoughts and questions about course readings in written form, as a complement to regular discussion. Students are advised to consult Barnard College s Honor Code at and will be held fully responsible for any failure to meet standards of academic integrity. If any questions or uncertainties arise about issues of academic integrity, students should discuss them with me. Students with Disabilities Students with disabilities who will be taking this course and may need disability-related accommodations are encouraged to see me in office hours as soon as possible or to schedule an appointment outside of office hours. Disabled students who need test or classroom accommodations must be registered in advance with the Office of Disability Services (ODS) in 105 Hewitt.
