UF 200-4017 Foundations of Ethics & Diversity: Deviance
Class # 40602, ONLINE, (1st) 7-week course, Carrie Seymour
Using ideas from philosophy, cultural anthropology, and sociology, this course section will explore the moral and ethical implications of how labels and stereotypes perpetuate outmoded or limited ideas about the nature of “acceptable” social traits and behaviors throughout the world. By looking at various “deviant” categories and studying the social codes and contexts that inform the perception of those categories, we will then look at how the penal system in America is a case study of how those perceptions play out for 2.26 million people every day.
PREREQ: ENGL 102, UF 100, and sophomore status.
NOTE: This course is a (1st) 7-week course and runs from 05/06/24 – 06/23/24. Enrollment in this course is restricted to students in the Honors College.
UF 200-4014 Foundations of Ethics & Diversity: Food in the US
Class # 40280, ONLINE, (2nd) 7-week course, Erik Hadley
In this course section we will investigate how the concepts of ethics, diversity and human rights apply to the specific issue of food access, quality, safety and production. In short, we will examine how food is produced and distributed in the United States and the ethics behind the American food industry and workforce. Through an analysis of food, we will encounter other major ethical debates in modern American life. In addition, we will analyze the meaning of the term ‘diversity’ as it applies to American food workers and consumers.
