Equity and Inclusion in Higher Education and Beyond

Catalog description

The topics of equity and inclusion have been at the center of debate within U.S. higher education. But the same can be said of other important segments of American society, such as law, medicine, government, and housing. Despite equity being such a pervasive topic, we in higher education rarely - if ever - look across different settings, sectors, and industries for novel approaches to our vexing problems. In this class, we explore the contours and dimensions of equity and inclusion in higher education and stretch them by engaging with literatures, case studies, and speakers from across different sectors and disciplines. In doing so, we glean what higher education can learn from others, and what others can learn from higher education.
