    The year-long Dimensions of Culture Program introduces TMC students to major issues in the history of the United States with an emphasis on the tension between the nation's founding principles and the inequality and lack of opportunity experienced by various groups over time. Topics include:
  • successive waves of immigration
  • the formation of stratifications based on gender, class, "race," religion, and other categories
  • the social movements that struggled to fulfill the founding ideals
  • the role of institutions in the delivery of justice and equity, and
  • the cultural production that has been shaped by these issues.

    All three courses in the lower-division DOC sequence provide undergraduate students with a critical language that allows them to analyze social problems in an intelligent and grounded fashion. In addition to attending core curriculum faculty lectures, students will participate in small discussion sections led by graduate student Teaching Assistants.
