Sociology of the Black Community Course is a sociological exploration of Black social life and social structure. Through rigorous engagement with empirical literature, lectures, and popular media, students gain a critical understanding of race relations and community development. The course features an Experiential Learning module (requiring 8 hours of active participation) where students apply theory to direct observation. This component partners with the Kenney Community Outreach Center to connect with local agencies, including Girls Inc., the Hamilton Hill Arts Center, the NAACP, local school districts, and Boys and Girls Clubs, to analyze real-world challenges and community empowerment efforts.
