Silver City, NM – This coming Wednesday, Dr. Emma Bailey’s Social Inequality class will be hosting a bake sale to spread awareness of social inequality. The bake sale will be held on the first floor of the Student Memorial Building.
Social Inequality can be defined as discrimination against class, race and stratification. The bake sale is a service learning project for the Social Inequality class and it is intended for the students to look at what they learned throughout the semester and transform it in a creative way. The students had to gather facts and data about social inequality and illustrate it into the baking items. For example: a man must pay more for an item than a woman would. This allows students to own the knowledge and teach it to other people. The money raised will be donated to The Center for Gender Equity.
The Social Inequality class is offered every fall semester and is taught by Dr. Bailey. This class is a requirement for all Sociology majors and minors. It can also be used for education majors such as social science and criminal justice.
Students will be selling breakfast burritos (in the morning,) as well as cookies, brownies, bread and cakes. The bake sale will be held on the first floor of the Student Memorial Building and will last from 9:30 to 1:30.
