SOCI 056D. Race, Class and Political Power: The Sociology of Elections In this course, we will use the unfolding 2024 elections as a case study for understanding some of the most pressing issues in American democracy: the rise of Trumpism, the stark inequality in political participation, the sense many people have that electoral politics doesn’t represent them, and the ways in which the rules & structure of our electoral system skew representation towards those with more resources. We will work together to better understand how people understand politics, and how political campaigns, PACs, and non-profit organizations work to persuade and mobilize potential voters. Social sciences. 1 credit. Catalog chapter: Sociology and Anthropology Department website: https://www.swarthmore.edu/sociology-anthropology
