3 Credit(s)
Exploring the cultural contexts of communities from a lens of privilege and oppression opens doors to understanding and considerations for inclusion, equity, advocacy and support in Early Childhood Educational settings. This course explores Early Childhood Educational experiences relevant to such variables as race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, (dis)ability, and body size. Through self-reflection and critical review of related research and other scholarship, students will examine the historical and current role of privilege and oppression in the delivery of Early Childhood Educational services. Strategies and resources for designing and implementing programs that are intentionally inclusive and welcoming to all will also be addressed.
