SEM:IntlEd,Equity&SocialJustic

Seminar: International Education, Equity and Social Justice

Students in this advanced seminar course will work collectively and individually to examine the latest research and practice related to equity and social justice in the international education field from a range of narrative, scholarly, and professional sources. The course will deeply examine issues of power, identity, and ethics in individual interactions and institutional structures. We will adopt the MIIS ICC Steering Committee’s broad approach to understanding culture as including ethnicity, nationality, religious, gender, socio-economic, regional, and organizational cultures, among others.  With this framework in mind, we will explore inclusion broadly, identifying specific structures and policies that advance equity and promote social justice.  Students will engage in individual or pair research as well as a full class curriculum development project. Student learning will focus on both learning with this vital topics and applied practice with facilitating this learning in others. Note: IEM anticipates offering a core course on this topic beginning in the 2020-2021 academic year. Student work in this Spring 2020 course will be used to inform and shape the content of the core course, leaving a lasting legacy in the IEM program.
