EDAD 600 - Proseminar in the African American Experience

3 Credits (Summer)
The goal of this course is to promote important insights relevant to the pycho-social-historical-contextual experiences of extant African American people. The course will focus key historical context and relevant present-day topics and issues.  The course will use a critical lens addressing factors such as entitlement, privilege, legitimacy, and normality but through the African American experience. Insights will then focus on such current topics as self and racial identity, prejudice and racism, health and mental health, socialization dynamics, and achievement and schooling. The goal asks students to become more cognizant of promising pathways to pursue for enhancing life conditions for people of African descent in America.
