EDUC 115 TL - Teaching for Equity and Social Justice

.25

Experiential travel component for SJ 110 and EDUC 115 . During this travel learning experience, we will visit several sites in Alabama and Mississippi along the National Civil Rights Trail where many of the events of the Civil Rights era took place during the 1960s. The experiential nature of this course with its multiple museum visits, explorations, and observations will add a sense of what it was to “be there”… to stand on the Edmond Pettus Bridge or to stand in the place where children were killed outside a Birmingham church - transforming our your understanding from an awareness of a timeline of events to a personal, meaningful understanding of the Civil Rights Movement. This personalized learning experience will provide the foundation to understand current-day social activism and social movements. Prerequisites: Introduction to Social Justice (SJ 110).
