[EDUC] 283, Our Lives, Our World. Teaching and Learning About Human Rights Alongside Youth, Spring 2022
INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Maria Hantzopoulos
THEMATIC CLUSTER: Education
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In this intensive course, Vassar students create a human rights curriculum for high-school youth that teaches about and for human rights in their localized and global contexts. This year’s theme is migration. We consider how the curriculum must be both a mirror of students’ own experiences and a window into the experiences of others, and use this as a catalyst for social change and action. Vassar students and the instructor then also implement the curriculum with high school youth in the spring.
