PSYC 185 PZ -IGLAS Seminar

Institution: Pitzer

Description: The goal of this course is to provide IGLAS Fellows with a historical and theoretical understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion in higher education. It will focus on three significant areas in post-secondary education: curriculum, campus climate and student success. Within these three areas, the course is designed to introduce students to information, concepts, policies and controversies related to race-ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, ability and religious differences among students, faculty, administrators, and other employees in post-secondary settings. An emphasis will be placed on effective ways to translate theory into practice in working with FYS faculty and first-year students to help them understand the linkage between the new educational objective requirements and on-campus diversity and inclusion.
