ADMN 8181 - Equity and Social Justice in Adult Education


Engages learners in critical thought and discussion around issues of equity, social justice, and adult education. Through exploration of concepts such as oppression, discrimination, power, privilege, and hegemony, learners develop an understanding of how markers of difference (e.g., race, gender, class, sexual orientation, etc.) impact one’s sense of fairness, pedagogy, and practice. A core aim of the course is to assist learners in understanding how equity and social justice impact adult education. Through gaining an appreciation for the theoretical underpinnings of social justice education and the manifestations of oppression that necessitated its development, learners develop a sensitivity to adult education as a collaborative endeavor that takes into account the person, the environment (both macro and micro), and the adult educator.
