Constellation: How Do Inequalities Shape Ourselves and Our World?

This constellation will begin by reviewing the science of social relationships from a psychological perspective and then critically investigate inequality — its forms, causes, and potential solutions — through sociological, economic and psychological perspectives. Students will critically explore systemic disparities and consider strategies to create a more just and equitable society.

Students enroll in one fall course and one spring course for their matched Constellation. Students are assigned to either the fall or spring semester to enroll in one integrated W120 course.
