Institution:

Immaculata University

Subject:

Education

Description:

Exploration of the issues related to diversity in society and in education through the lens of a critical social justice framework. Students will explore the perspective that recognizes that society is stratified by race, class, gender, sexual orientation, and ability and that inequality is deeply embedded in our society. Students are introduced to key concepts such as critical thinking, socialization, group identity, prejudice, discrimination, oppression, power and privilege in order to gain new insights, and seek means to positively impact these issues in society and in schools. Students are encouraged to connect their personal experiences to course materials. The format for this course is modeled on the constructivist approach in which students are encouraged to construct their own knowledge through active involvement, critical thinking, key experiences, readings, and assignments.
