Leading for Social Justice: The Practice and Power of Dialogue

This course uses a social justice framework to explore issues of identity, community, power and privilege with respect to diverse populations. We will explore historical and contemporary oppressions based on race, sex, gender identity, class, and other dimensions of identity, and use self-reflection to examine students' own lived experiences. This course will be taught in a dialogic format and will explore the power of dialogue in advancing diversity and social justice. Students will learn key concepts and skills for utilizing dialogic skills in their leadership practice, in the classroom, and in their peer interactions.
