Course Catalog Description
Course examines current problems and issues in the field of public policy. Topics may vary from year to year and will be announced at the beginning of the semester. Open to students from other departments.
Class Description
This course seeks to support the development of future public policy leaders to advance racial justice and the attainment of human rights and dignity for all people. Students will examine what the critical consciousness theories of critical race theory and intersectional feminism have to say about the manifestations of the systems of white supremacy, racial capitalism, and patriarchy in public policymaking. Students will analyze the theory of settler colonialism as applied to California’s history of multiracial exclusion, the use of racialized divide and conquer strategies, and current public policy values and operating principles that perpetuate racial oppression.
Students will engage in class projects for and with community partners and leaders who apply the principles of transformative and love-based justice. Students will practice how to unlearn extractive and exploitative conditioning of academia and professionalism towards low income communities of color and how to walk with solidarity, respect, and racial competency.
