Project Description
During the project, students examined the impact of structural racism and gender inequality in communities of color in the United States and underrepresented groups in Morocco. To better understand systemic oppression and discrimination, students will thoroughly explore how social identities, such as race, gender, sexuality, and class, generate a prism of inequality. Concomitantly, course content will engage students in examining how marginalized groups in both countries have challenged systemic oppression. Throughout the semester a series of binational and intercultural activities will prompt students to consider the best strategies to contest and disrupt interlocking systems of power to affirm equity and inclusion.
