All courses within the curriculum have been built with an intensive focus on privilege, oppression, diversity and social justice (PODS). Each course integrates PODS content and skills with a special emphasis on the identification of theories, practice and/or policies that promote social justice and illuminate injustices and that are consistent with scientific and professional knowledge. Through the use of a variety of instructional methods, each course will support students developing a vision of social justice, learning to recognize and reduce mechanisms that support oppression and injustice, working toward social justice processes, applying intersectionality and intercultural frameworks and strengthening critical consciousness, self-knowledge and self-awareness to facilitate PODS learning.
