Scholar Leader: Diversity and Equity in Schools and Communities

Catalog description

The objective of this course is to inform you about the research and theories related to diversity (race/ethnicity, gender, social class, sexuality, ability, intersectionality and more) and equity in schools and communities for application to your own personal and professional experiences. This process will provide you with a foundation from which you may base your own decisions in your profession. As the course proceeds, your role will be to try to understand what you hear and read and to ask questions, to formulate an opinion about the theories/concepts that are presented, and to connect what you read to your own experiences as a human being, graduate student, and professional.
