What is the function and purpose of education in modern society? Is college the "great equalizer" in America, or does education further stratify people by family background? What can we do to improve educational attainment? Where does work and career preparation fit in? This course is designed to tackle such questions and develop the ability of students to think critically, theoretically, historically and empirically about debates in the sociology of education and education policy.
