This course explores the many aspects of cultural diversity such as language, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ability/disability, age, etc. It prepares teachers and other professionals to enter a multicultural workforce and increasingly diverse classrooms with requisite attitudes, skills, knowledge and desired internal/external outcomes (Deardorff, 2006). The course will engage students in experiential activities and intercultural dialogue that foster critical self-reflection, exploration of contact across cultures and social justice issues. It will also present students with opportunities to analyze the intersectionality of identities and integrate their increasing global awareness into pedagogical and other professional contexts. Offered fall, spring, summer.
