This course critically examines how language intersects with nation-states, social class, race, religion, gender, sexuality, and ability in ways that perpetuate inequality. Juxtaposing scholarly and popular media products, students examine how such inequality plays out in the mass media, home, classroom, church, workplace, court, and other social institutions. Prerequisite: 60 units; recommended as a prerequisite or corequisite for EDUC 467. Students who have taken EDUC 386 ST-Lang in Educ/Society may not take EDUC 360 for further credit.
