SOCY 38 Status and Power in Social Interaction

How do our interactions with others cause and result from inequalities in society? This course explores how status and power dynamics shape social life, using theories and research from sociological social psychology. We will learn how status beliefs emerge from social differences in resources and power, and how they perpetuate inequalities over time by shaping our interpretations of events and our behavior and emotions toward others. We will also consider how these inequalities can be overcome.
