Social Movements in Edu. (CBL)

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This CBL course examines the role social justice movements have played in shaping education reform policies and initiatives for justice. Drawing on historical and contemporary sources, students will analyze how movement leaders use rhetoric, strategy, and coalition-building to advocate for equitable education policies. The CBL aspect of this course is characterized as indirect service and is integrated into the course. Students will collaborate with non-profit organizations focused on education justice, applying course concepts to real-world projects through research, policy analysis, and communications work. This hands-on engagement bridges theory and practice, enabling students to reflect critically on how activism, policy, and community partnerships intersect to drive educational change.
