Course Code: STC331

This online course explores racism’s complexities and the path toward interconnectedness through an evolving Framework for Action. This framework, rooted in decades of global community building and social action, provides a lens for addressing systemic issues, highlighting principles such as oneness and justice. This course will center Blackness as pivotal to understanding race relations and foreground Latine and Indigenous perspectives to address broader racialized experiences and collective healing. Students will examine key elements of the framework, engage with relevant discourses, and apply their learning in their communities in the course project to foster unity and healing. The course focuses on process and coherence, avoiding deficit framing of communities and centering instead on the telling of their own stories and experiences in pursuit of humanity’s oneness. This journey seeks to understand racism and actively contribute to its elimination. Students will build the capacity to contribute to race-related discourses in their academic work, lived experiences, and community-building efforts.
