EDAD 602 - EDAD 602 - Special Topics in Social Justice

3 Credits (Summer)
The goal of this course is to explore and critically evaluate social justice special topics such as institutional opportunity gaps in economics, criminal justice, education, health and wellness, and policy. This examination will provide an opportunity for a deep dive into a specific social justice area to focus more on depth. Such topics will be driven by contemporary issues in society that significantly impact daily individual lived, family, and community experiences. As we examine the depths of these issues, we will self-reflect and evaluate our own perspectives and develop an informed opinion regarding the impact of social justice matters. This course aligns with course discussions in Proseminar in the African American Experience and Seminar on Race and Racism in the U.S. and provides additional context to support social justice initiatives.
