EN 140 Introduction to Diversity Studies: 3 semester hours
This course introduces Diversity Studies, an interdisciplinary program of study that enables students to develop a broad understanding of the intersecting components of diversity in society, namely: race, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexuality, social class, religion, language, aging, and disability. By the end of the semester, students will develop an understanding of and sensitivity to diverse cultures and lifestyles and the contributions of historically-underrepresented communities to art, literature, history, culture, and society. Ultimately, the course equips students with the knowledge, skills, and perspectives essential to civic participation, career development, and the promotion of a just and an equitable society.
