Course Description: This course examines key historical, contemporary, and future perspectives regarding educational access and equity in American education, addressing historical events, issues and policies from our country’s history, as well as current events affecting education. Through course experiences, participants define their own roles and responsibilities as citizens in identifying biases and supporting changes that create educational opportunity and equity for all. Class meetings are highly interactive and discussion-based, with high expectations for class participation.

Student Description: This course allows students to engage with one anther by having hard conversations while also staying respectful and equal. We dove into impact bias, race, women change-makers, and many other important assignments throughout this course, that taught the students a lot more than our preferred major.
