HON 3170 - Social Justice, Self, and Citizenship: A Service Learning Course



Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): GWS 1001 or PSY 1001 and six additional semester hours in Women’s Studies or six additional semester hours in Psychology

Description: Social justice encompasses research, activism and current events about manifestations of social oppression and social change. This course focuses upon psychological theory and self-identity in the context of multicultural and social justice issues (e.g., classism, racism, sexism, heterosexism, and ableism). Lectures, readings, and discussions are integrated with a required service learning placement involving 30 hours of volunteer work in a setting for the underserved. Students have the opportunity to a) reflect on their values, assumptions, place within, and emotional reactions to social oppressions; b) analyze the political systems that surround their communities and institutions; and c) apply their reflections to their career goals and personal development.

Note: Credit will be granted for only one prefix: HON, PSY, or GWS.
