Description:

This course focuses on four major themes: 1) The students' own stereotypes, biases and culture, what they are and where they come from; 2) Isms (including racism, ablism, chistianism, sexism, nationalism and agism) and how they are played out in our society and within interactions and expectations of others; and 3) English language acquisition, and bilingual and ESL education; and 4) How all these aspects interact in an educational setting.
