<p>Are there any grad programs focused on the oppression and socialization related to Race, Class, and Gender in the United States/the world? I am incredibly interested in how women, poor people, and people of color are structually discriminated against, and although I especially love Women's Studies, I wouldn't want to focus only on that. I've taken a course called "Politics of Race, Class, and Gender" in my undergrad, and I really want to continue work on that. Anyone know if there's anything offered?</p>
<p>You can do this in LOTS of areas of specialization at the graduate level. But in order to achieve graduate admissions, you’d have to get exposed to / trained in the theory and method of ONE specific field. </p>
<p>One good way to focus your interests would be to think about what geographic area you wish to study. Another good way to focus would be to think about which level of culture (within which the “structural discrimination” you describe takes is articulated or subverted) interests you most (public policy, educational institutions, textual production / literature, popular culture, religious institutions, cultural institutions of another sort, etc.).</p>
<p>Immediately obvious fields from which to choose (and there are more): Cultural Studies, Ethnic Studies, Gender Studies, American Studies, Sociology, African-American Studies, Anthropology, Religious Studies, Political Science, History.</p>
