Description: EPOL 410 Racial and Ethnic Families Diversity (formerly EPS 421 and same as HDFS 424 and AFRO 421) can be used to fulfill the EPOL social foundations requirement for Master’s students and advanced hours requirements for Learning and Education Studies (LES). It is a sociological examination of racial and ethnic families diversity across and within racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. (esp. racial and ethnic minority families) and the basis of family ethnic diversity in various regions of the world. One of the highlights of this course is a focus on sociologist Gerhard Lenski's "The Religious Factor" in religious based ethnic family diversity in the U.S. and the world.
