High School Topics in Equity

Catalog description

Taught by JST. High school education intersects with issues of race, orientation, and gender. These dimensions are in play in both overt and subtle ways, from the classroom to the Immersion trip, the volleyball court, or the service learning site. The aim of this course is to introduce students to the complex equity issues in Bay Area Catholic High Schools, and to also build a framework and language to be effective in their educational ministry. A key component of this course is deepening student's personal understanding of systemic racism and privilege, and to analyze how their own positionality informs how they see the world.
