Dr. Bridges took this course over when Professor Cast passed away before the start of the term. I was devastated about Dr. Cast. But he was so wonderful, clearly cared about us, his lectures were really fascinating and helped connect all of the material in the class. I ended up learning more in this class than any other Soc class I've ever taken.

Sociology of Privilege has been my favorite class I've taken at UCSB. Professor Bridges is an engaging lecturer and the class is structured really well in which each week focuses on a different aspect of privilege. The midterm and final were challenging but doable and the essays came with a lot of guidance which was super helpful.

This is easily the best class I've taken in college. Dr. Bridges is the best teacher I've had at UCSB. His lectures are so good and the research we learned about was so interesting. There are weekly quizzes (not too hard), two papers (but he gives lots of directions), and a midterm and final exam. The exams were challenging, but fair. GREAT course.

Dr. Bridges is an amazing professor and the sociology of privilege was an awesome course. Really helpful for understanding different forms of inequality with very current readings and research.

This was the most interesting course I took in college. It was my last quarter of classes at UCSB. The lectures were so amazing. It's honestly a course that changed the way I look at the world. Be prepared to read a lot, but Dr. Bridges helps connect all of the readings and helps you figure out what you need to get from them to do well in class.

This was Dr. Bridges's Sociology of Privilege class and it was easily the best course I have taken in college. The lectures were amazing and connected all of the readings we read this quarter in a way that sort of forced me to rethink what I thought I knew about privilege basically every week. I wish I could retake it.
