课程名称：贫困与人口：人口统计如何塑造政策 课程概述：本课程分为四个模块。第一个模块旨在理解社会福利的分类，包括人口、收入、收益和资产，以及对政策决策影响巨大的相关概念，如失业、通货膨胀和最低工资。第二个模块关注社会福利的核心机构——劳动力市场，它在很大程度上决定了一个人的资源获取方式，同时还通过优秀人才和特权类别建立了等级制度。第三个模块探讨贫困，包括我们定义贫困的不同方式，以及美国反贫困努力的有效性。最后一个模块直接审视联邦决策的制定，思想的政治组织、美国政府的结构以及塑造我们社会政策的立法过程。该课程还涉及权力、压迫和白人至上主义的问题。 课程是社会政策的一部分，并设有荣誉课程追踪。此追踪将为学习者准备硕士级别的政策工作，涉及文献阅读、简洁总结和深入批评的写作。在整个课程过程中，学习者将开发一项政策分析，为专业政策分析师的任务奠定基础。 课程大纲： 1. 模块名称：人口、收入、贫困与政策 描述：本模块将提醒学习者基本的社会福利概念，包括人口变量、收入、资产以及通货膨胀、失业和最低工资。 2. 模块名称：贫困和歧视的原因 描述：本模块将探讨现代社会中最重要的社会福利项目，工作场所的相关情况，并评估谁在获得优势，谁处于劣势及其原因。 3. 模块名称：性别、种族与压迫 描述：在此模块中，学习者将区分贫困的不同衡量标准，理解衡量贫困的重要性，并质疑不同人口群体在相对贫困中的地位。 4. 模块名称：美国的社会政策制定 描述：在此模块中，学习者将审查美国政府的结构和过程，并解释如何利用立法结构制定政策。

This course has four modules, or foci. The first is to understand the categories of social welfare—populations, income, earnings, and assets— and some related concepts that play a very large role in shaping policy decisions: unemployment, inflation, and the minimum wage. The second deals with the central institution of social welfare—the labor market, which largely determines how many resources a person has. The labor market also establishes hierarchy, both through meritocracy and through categories of privilege. The third is poverty: the differing ways we define who is poor, and how effective U.S. anti-poverty efforts have been. The final module looks directly at federal decision making, the political organization of ideas, the structure of U.S. government, and the legislative process that shapes much of our social policy. This course addresses issues of power, oppression, and white supremacy. The course is part of a sequence in social policy that has an HONORS TRACK. This track will prepare the learner for masters-level work in policy, which involves reading the literature, writing concise summaries and probing critiques. Over the sequence the learner will develop a policy analysis that will create a foundation for professional policy analyst assignments.
