SOCI 350 - School and Punishment

FC SSCI CD
4 credits
This course examines two important social institutions: schools and prisons. Schools and prisons have both been designed to cure social ills. Both have been key sites for activists, reformers, and policy. In understanding waves of reform in education and penal reform, we explore how the broader socio-political context that is, political opportunity structures and social movements shape the possibilities for social change in these institutions. Finally, this class will devote substantial time to contemporary education and prison reform in international-comparative perspective.
