IDLS 2120 - Social Justice Facilitation I

2 credit hours
Formerly - LBST 2120

Serves as the training and practical application of the skill of being a student facilitator/peer educator for the undergraduate course IDLS 1120 (SUYI Leadership Seminar I). Through IDLS 2120 students explore what it means to be a leader and facilitator for social justice. Students engage in discourse on a wide variety of topics, including experiential educational philosophy and pedagogy, identity development, facilitation skills, and educational equity. Students apply this learning by facilitating small discussion groups of peers every other week during winter and spring quarters, and by organizing and leading experiential learning activities such as 48 hour immersions, advocacy events, cultural events, and providing guidance for their peers’ leadership projects. As preparation for this intense leadership experience, students will be expected to meet several times in the Fall preceding IDLS 2120 (Winter) to discuss readings and issues related to facilitating social justice and leading small groups. It is also expected that students register for IDLS 2140 (Spring), as a facilitator for IDLS 1140 (Spring).
