Critical Research and Advocacy Methods

Catalog description

This course focuses on helping students translate their race, gender, and sexuality studies (RGSS) education to address social problems connected to structural inequality, which impact workplaces, communities, and other institutions. The aim is to help students understand the utility of their skills in RGSS, to learn to apply their feminist, anti-racist, and social justice learning to real-world contexts, and to understand the connection between research and advocacy for social change. Students learn about processes behind social change: strategic analysis, organizing, action planning, research, evaluation, and advocacy. Prerequisite: RGS 100 ; RGS 335 or RGS 336 or RGS 340 or concurrent enrollment. Offered Annually.
