Foundations of Social Justice in Higher Education

Students explore how higher education functions in relation to societal needs and social stratification. Through intergroup dialogue, students share diverse perspectives and lived experiences to examine how institutions structure educational access and opportunity. Students analyze institutional responses to social justice imperatives, including historical reckonings, comtemporary initiatives, and methods for assessing institutional progress. The course emphasizes both critical analysis and practical application through collaborative discourse on pressing challenges in U.S. and international higher education.
