This class explores the following propositions, from the tradition of critical pedagogy: learning, is a shared and collective process that is shaped, by social structures and norms of social, interaction; higher education institutions, fundamentally shape the process of learning, as, well as what counts as knowledge; higher education, institutions can sustain and reproduce inequitable, political and economic relationships; higher, education institutions can also provide, opportunities to resist oppression, build, autonomy, and create a more just society. This, class will explore the central concepts and, arguments that underlay these claims, and consider, their implications for student affairs, practitioners who seek to create inclusive, learning environments that lead to equitable, educational outcomes.
