SO 238 Youth & Contemporary Society

The course analyzes youth as a stage in life made both promising and problematic by contemporary social structure and culture. Attention is given to the origins and forms of youthful conformity and achievement as well as misconduct and crime, with an emphasis on how those issues differ by gender, social class, race/ethnicity, and variations in the organizations and social institutions that constitute the context of daily life for youth.
