This is an advanced Master?s level course designed for students who are at the end of their program of study. This course focuses on an integrative approach to Social Justice Education, blending theory and practice to help students demonstrate their understanding of applied social justice work both within schools and society. Students will demonstrate an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary mastery of social justice knowledge and action through a variety of methods that they have learned across all of the courses in their program of study, making this a culminating course to demonstrate full mastery through a multimodal synthesis. Lectures, presentations, readings, dialogues, in-class activities and audio / visual materials will be used to help us students deepen their applied knowledge as well as prepare them to curate a practicum project to be completed by the end of the course. The required readings apply various methods of inquiry to promote an understanding of integrative social justice methods and practices. Students will produce a portfolio that showcases their capstone project using different modalities of knowledge production. The portfolio showcase will be a requirement for completing their master?s program of study.
