EDU-7200: Social Justice Theory and Practice

This course establishes a historical, theoretical, and practical basis from which to critically analyze one’s professional practice through the lens of social justice. Students examine their own frames of reference on justice along with perspectives introduced in the course to interrogate the genealogy of their personal views and to enhance their critical consciousness of their role as social justice practitioners. The course will explore concepts and critical theories of social justice, oppression, anti-racism, nonhuman animal rights, decolonialism, education, and power culminating in an assignment that works to support, frame and/or challenge the students’ own approach to educational and professional practice.
