SOCI 89 - Fys: Special Topics

Description
Special topics course. Content will vary each semester. Class Notes: TITLE: Poverty, Inequality, and Health in America GEN EDS: SS, US PREREQUISITES: First-year students only. DESCRIPTION: This First Year Seminar examines issues of poverty, social and economic inequality and health in America. Course content will focus particularly on health disparities according to patterns of poverty and inequality and according to socioeconomic disadvantage associated with single-mother families, teenage and nonmarital childbearing, child poverty, immigration, and race and ethnicity. This seminar is coupled with an Experiential Education (EE) requirement that will give students firsthand experiences with how poverty and inequality is experienced in the lives of American men, women, children, and families. Students will carry out a research project on how the poverty and inequality they observe in their community service work is related to health outcomes or health disparities. The research project thus combines the experiential education on poverty and inequality students gain in the community with the academic scholarship on health disparities from course materials and other health-related research materials specific to their research project topic. ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Kathleen Mullan Harris is the James Haar Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Adjunct Professor of Public Policy. Her research focuses on social inequality and health with particular interests in family demography, the transition to adulthood, health disparities and family formation. Harris directs the 20-year NIH longitudinal Add Health Study, which is following 20,000+ teens into adulthood. Under Harris¿ leadership, the study has pioneered innovative study designs and integrative multidisciplinary research to understand social, environmental, behavioral, and biological linkages in developmental and health trajectories from adolescence into adulthood. Her publications appear in a wide range of disciplinary journals. She is currently the only woman at UNC elected to the National Academy of Sciences (2014).

She really cares about seeing her students succeed and really wants us to learn. Her grading was totally realistic, I always knew exactly what was expected of me and we had really great discussions in this class. She's so knowledgeable and fun to learn from altogether. One of my favorites.

RELI
Prof. Aldrich was great in my first-year seminar. He assigns a lot of short papers (2 - 5 pages, depending on the assignment) and grades pretty harshly, but if you use the sources he gives you, you should get a good grade. He cares about his students and gives monthly energy checks to make sure we're taking care of our mental health.
