INDS 2020 - Individual and Society

Credits: 3

This course will examine the history and controversies associated with the Second Amendment of the Constitution, the complexity of urban educational reform, and a variety of issues associated with extreme poverty in America. Using several types of quantitative and qualitative research, we will study factors that have shaped developments in these areas. Questions related to the regulation of guns, long-term educational outcomes, and equality will be central to both the readings and discussions. We will examine quantitative and qualitative data regarding crime, school integration, academic achievement, income, class, and social mobility. We will discuss the various ethical concerns associated with the subject matter of each text.
