Race, Class, Age, Religion, and Sexuality explores the ways in which different social identities and categories shape individuals’ experiences, opportunities, and interactions within society. It examines how factors such as race and ethnicity, socio-economic class, age differences, religious beliefs, and sexual orientation influence access to power, resources, rights, and social inclusion or exclusion. The topic emphasizes the concept of intersectionality, showing how these identities often overlap to create complex and diverse lived experiences, including both privilege and discrimination. Course objectives include enabling learners to understand the impact of social identities on individuals and groups, analyze how inequality and diversity are shaped by these factors, recognize issues of discrimination and inclusion, and develop critical thinking skills to promote social justice, equity, and respect for diversity in society.
