This course counts as one of the required elective courses for Sociology, Criminology, or Anthropology majors. It will be scheduled in years when there is sufficient student interest. The course emphasizes the racial/ethnic and social class diversity of Chicago. Besides touring/observing in the Cook Country Jail (maybe: new Sheriff is changing this experience and may even elmininate it)and Courthouse, we spend much of our time in the many neighborhoods of Chicago, sometimes with the group as a whole but more often in small groups. We travel to Chicago by Amtrak from St. Paul and stay in the Hosteling International Hostel in the heart of down-town Chicago. For more detail, see the syllabus and schedule.
