EDUC.SP22

Formerly called Advocating for Diversity in Higher Education, this course was renamed by enrolled students in the Spring-2021 semester to capture the need for analysis and action that transforms, not only advocates for diversity in, higher education. That reconceptualizing and renaming process, the original co-creation of the course in 2016 by an undergraduate and a faculty member, and the annual co-creation among enrolled students and the faculty members and undergraduates who co-facilitate the course all suggest all both suggest and enact ways in which we might change the basic structures and practices within and through which we work. As always, this course will be co-created by students enrolled and the faculty and student co-facilitator, and it will provide a forum for exploration and transformation of higher education. Extensive, informal writing and more formal research and presentations will afford you the opportunity to craft empowering narratives for yourselves and your lives and to take research and teaching beyond the classroom. Two to three hours of campus-based field work required each week.
