Crosslisted With SOAN 2531
FDR: SS4 Social Science - Group 4 Distribution
Experiential Learning (EXP): Yes
Credits: 3

Use insights from sociology, anthropology, and the humanities, students uncover how cultural metaphors, socioeconomic inequalities, and global realities inform and shape our identities and experiences. By reading different story-telling formats, we work towards recognizing how the ways we tell our stories impact our ability to see new outcomes and reshape cultural scenarios for ourselves, our families, and our communities. We utilize the Inside-Out Model for class instruction and assignments.

Note(s): Taught at Western Virginia Regional Jail with an equal number of W&L and incarcerated students.
