MECP 620 - Systems of Discrimination and Social Justice

(3 credits)

Systems of Discrimination and Social Justice is the third course in the Multicultural Education Certificate Program. This course is intended to provide participants with an understanding of the levels of discrimination that impact clientele in their respective education, health, law enforcement, social service, faith, non-profit, arts, military, business and industry sectors in Olmsted and Winona Counties. Participants will identify respondents and conduct interviews with both these individuals and “cultural brokers” within their respective sectors. Participants will engage in ethnographic data collection, data analysis, and “member checking” in order to both learn more about their own socially constructed privileges and identify ways to engage in collective efforts for social justice. This data analysis and collective efforts will constitute the Results and Discussion sections of their research papers. Prerequisite: MECP 600 - Foundations of Multicultural Education and MECP 610 - Home, Community, and Work Analysis or instructor permission. Grade only. Offered summer session.
