1 SOC 220: Inequality, Mobility, and the American Dream Precept Syllabus, Spring 2015 Sophie Moullin Fridays, and AM Location Wallace, 165 Contact Office: Wallace Hall, Room 284 Office hours: Thursday pm, or by appointment. Purpose The purpose of this course is to critically engage with arguments and empirical evidence on economic inequality and social mobility. The course is an introduction to the sociological study of how income and wealth structure opportunities within and across generations. However, throughout the course sociological explanations are considered alongside those from economics. While we focus on the United States, we will often consider it in comparative perspective. Precept is a time for you to refine and articulate your reactions to the readings and to learn from those of your peers. It is also an opportunity to work through theoretical and methodological challenges encountered in the readings. The aim is to prepare you to become critical consumers of academic research, and public commentary and policy, related to this issue. Precept will also help prepare you to produce your own paper on a topic of your choosing related to economic inequality and/or social mobility. This will be due on Dean s Date, May 12 th. Over the semester you are required to write three brief reflection papers synthesizing the readings for a given week. These are due by noon Thursday, the day before precept. You may choose the weeks you wish to write on, but at least one must be completed before the midterm exam. 1

6 Getting the most out of precepts Attendance: Consistent with University policy, precept attendance is mandatory. Absences are excused with advanced notice for illness, family emergencies, and religious holidays. In the case of second or further absences, a short report on the readings is required. Courtesy: In this small-group discussion setting, it is important to keep distractions at bay. To help you avoid distracting yourself and others, any laptops, phones and tablets used must be set on airplane mode. Please arrive to precept on time and do not leave early. Expectations: Attendance and participation in precept comprises 15% of your course grade. An A grade represents active participation in, and insightful contribution to, discussion. Participation entails: 1. Careful reading of the assigned texts. For a productive discussion, it is essential that each student has closely read the material assigned for that week. You should be able to provide a concise summary of each reading. Note down points in the readings you struggled with. This material is challenging, and we will work together in precept to understand authors methods, concepts and arguments. 2. Critical thinking about the readings. Critical reading goes beyond distilling the major arguments of a text, to questioning their basis and implications. When you come to precept, be prepared to raise questions about and to the week s readings. 3. A conversation. Listen carefully to others contributions, and respond to them respectfully. Questions to consider when preparing for precept: How do the readings relate to other readings for the week or to other readings from the course? In what ways are they similar or different? How do the readings relate to the material presented in lecture? Does it illustrate a certain point? How? Does it contradict it? In what ways? Are there any issues related to the readings that, in your view, remain unexplored or insufficiently addressed? Do you think that the author argued his or her point well and supported it with good evidence? If so, what are some of the examples? If not, what could the author have done otherwise to be more convincing? Can you think of counter arguments that the author did not consider? What are some of the issues that relate to the week s lecture or readings that still remain unclear or puzzling to you? 6
