ED 642 - Advanced Social Justice in Higher Education

Credits: 4
This course prepares Master’s students in the Merrimack College Higher Education Program for the work of advancing social justice in higher education. Building on the course concepts and constructs introduced in ED640: Diversity and Social Justice in Higher Education, students will engage in case study analysis and problem-based learning of current social justice and diversity issues on college campuses. This course will introduce students to five specific cases where institutions engaged with social justice issues and/or the advancement of social justice, enabling them to engage them in applying social justice theories to practice. The focus is on using evidence based approaches to further the enactment of equity and justice in higher education.
