Course Description:
This community-based course introduces human rights, social justice, and environmental justice theoretical frameworks and issues from global perspectives. Through interdisciplinary service- learning, students will have opportunities to explore art as activism and participate in civic engagement. Specific topics including the intersectionality of identities including race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, religion, ability, nationality, language and education will be examined, and provide roots to further personal and intellectual development and global citizenship. Diverse readings will include equity-centered explorations of history and the complex interplay of theories in a pluralistic society, with opportunities to apply them to current equity and inclusion issues.
