Violence

Undergraduate

This course examines a spectrum of violence and the ways in which violence affects our everyday lives, both explicitly and implicitly. Analyses range from overt expressions of force to covert forms of violence, such as institutional, structural, and discursively constituted violence. Areas may include violence against women, violence within sex work, political violence, terrorism, and resistance within oppressive systems. Prerequisite(s): 3h of 1000-level SOCI and second-year standing, or permission of the instructor.
