The purpose of this course is to give adult students an introduction to critical sociological ways of thinking that apply explicitly to real world settings. The course will accomplish this by focusing on the institutions of criminal justice, education, the workplace, and health care. These institutions have been chosen for their breadth and because they connect more directly to the lives of students-as most work, have dealings with healthcare and education, and have had some direct or indirect experience with the criminal justice system).
