ISD 3001: Integrative Approaches to Social Justice and Inclusion

3 Credit Hours

In this course, learners explore how the power of integrative thinking and methods can be leveraged toward a more socially just and inclusive society. Using the framework of intersectionality, learners examine the interdependent systems of discrimination, disadvantage, and inequity experienced by individuals or groups related to the individual’s or groups’ interconnected identity characteristics. Using social constructivist pedagogies, learners function as a community in which they explore and share their own interdisciplinary expertise and perspectives to articulate problems and conceptualize solutions related to social justice and inclusion.
