Social Inequities in Everyday Life

3 credits · Graduate

This course aims to introduce students to empirical evidence and theoretical arguments concerning social inequities in everyday life and occupations. In occupational science, ‘occupation’ refers not to jobs but to all meaningful activities with which people occupy themselves, including work and education, care for self and others, leisure, and activities through which people connect with themselves and each other. We will explore the meaning of power, privilege, oppression and subordination, for how and why people participate in occupations, to what effect. RESTRICTIONS: Open to graduate students and Special Student-Graduate Studies in any field, by permission of instructor. FORMATS: Online Delivery
