AA/06/AS/23UEPC - Sociocultural Inquiry Requirement Effective Fall 2025
Description: The Sociocultural Inquiry Requirement increases students’ understanding of how society, culture, and social interaction are shaped by dynamic intersections of power, history, place, and expression. Students will explore contemporary and/or historical voices, viewpoints, and/or cultural expressions. The requirement focuses on power, privilege, oppression, agency, and/or resistance within a regional, national, and/or global context.
For a course to be designated as fulfilling this requirement, it must be a minimum of 3 units and satisfy at least 2 of the following 3 Learning Outcomes. By the end of the course students will be able to:
- Discuss historical and/or contemporary experiences of historically disenfranchised or marginalized populations within the US and/or abroad.
- Interpret how power, structures, privilege, oppression, agency, and/or resistance shape histories, lives, places, and/or cultures in a regional, national, and/or global context.
- Examine their own place within intersectional systems and structures of power, privilege, oppression, and/or resistance.
