CPEB 252 - Individuals, Groups, and Institutions: Understanding Identity and Working Towards Change (4 Cr.)

(GCR RPP)(GCR Social and Behavioral Sciences area)
In this course you will use theoretical frameworks from social science and personal reflection to answer the questions: How do I articulate my identity? How does my identity shape the way I interact with individuals, groups, and institutions? What are my assumptions about ability, class, gender, immigration status, race, religion, and sexual orientation and how do they impact how I interact with individuals, groups, and institutions? What are the institutional, cultural, and structural factors of race and power that shape my perspective and experience? You will work in small collaborative groups to research current examples of tension/discrimination related to race, power, and perspective in the world then create an original plan to improve race relations/discrimination in the world around you. Students are limited to one CPE course per semester. Students may NOT take this course if they have completed ED 104 . Wilson.
