Social Issues, Justice, and Change in Education

This course explores the relationships between international education and power, privilege, equity, diversity and inclusion. The course will explore notions of oppression and transformation, and the conditions which facilitate and block social justice and change at the system, institution, program, and personal levels. Selected social topics will be explored, with a focus on how they intersect with the field of international education: race and ethnicity; gender, sex, and gender identity; colonial and white settler identities; environmental sustainability and justice; and immigration and forced mobility, among others. Students will be expected to learn about and discuss these topics, participate in a project that advances social justice in education, and plan for their future professional engagement.

Optional synchronous activities are offered Tues/Thurs 2-3pm Pacific Time.
