Course Catalog Description:: This course considers the ways service-learning in Chicano and Latino communities can serve as a catalyst for promoting racial justice in education. By drawing attention to the ethical concept of relational being, through which individual humanity is both grasped and sustained, students will reflect on their ethical responsibilities to analyze and change U.S. educational systems. Students will investigate institutional and social constraints on equitable educational opportunities for Chicano/Latino students by exploring models for decolonizing education through civic action. To fulfill the service-learning component of this course, (outside of class time) students will tutor and mentor Chicanos/Latinos at El Colegio or Academia Cesar Chavez as well as dialogue with Chicano/Latino educators and advocates. Generally, students will work 2-3 hours per week with one of these two partners. In this way, "service-learning" means that the course is experiential, using discussion and hands-on activities to deliver course material and achieve student learning outcomes. Education takes place in multiple social settings, particularly in the community, and thus, outside of the classroom.
Class Description:: Student may contact the instructor or department for information.
