Race, Power, and Privilege (RPP) Courses

The Department of Sociology at Brown University offers a variety of courses that meet the Race, Power, and Privilege (RPP) designation.

RPP courses highlight Brown’s commitment to the intellectual study of race, racial formations, inequality, and social justice. These courses examine issues of structural inequality, racial formations and/or disparities, and systems of power within a complex pluralistic world.
