The Academic Evolution of Carly Coffman
Critiques of Capitalism
In this section, I provide some of my proudest work on the economic functions of capitalism, and how its processes infiltrate other ways of life -- such as racial identity, feminine and queer labor, mental health.
Some of these papers have topics that overlap with Racial Justice, and this is because socio-racial hierarchies and capitalism are intrinsic and work in tandem to oppress working class power and Black unity.
An Observation on the Commodification of Social Justice
This annotated bibliography, from SOCI 384, conducts research into how capitalistic production and consumer practices influence the trajectory of social justice movements
A Socialist Perspective on the Decriminalization of Sex Work
In this application paper for POLS 315, I write about female and queer body labor through the political ideological lens of socialism. This approach allows for a critical look into how sex labor is manipulated, allowed, and exploited by capitalism in American culture.
Feeling Detached in a Hyper Connected America
While analyzing traditional sociological theories from SOCI 201, in this paper I apply them to prove how the expansion of technology and consumerist culture perpetuates class stratification in America and how capitalistic processes have destroyed individuals' sense of mental health.
How Colonization and Capitalism Dictated American Society
In this essay from LIBS 202, I deconstruct the misconception that capitalism and colonialism are separate entities in order to illustrate how marginalized American populations are villanized for their economic ambitions as they attempt to survive in a system that does not support them.
