HONO 3202 Just Learning: Books Not Bars
Just Learning is the process of critical consciousness that engages learners in understanding the larger social conditions and contexts that shape, often limit, our lives. Identifying these structural causes empowers us to transform this reality. Through the examination of the relationship between the education and prison systems, students will analyze systemic issues that disenfranchise individuals and communities, often funneling young people into the school to prison pipeline. Students will gain knowledge and skills to advocate on behalf of shared human right and engage with local organizations to create more inclusive opportunities for all.
