This course allows students to explore how they, and others, develop their sense of place in the diverse and multicultural agricultural community of the United States. The course presents an overview of the development of social justice in the United States to date and offers a sampling of diversity studies related to race/ethnicity, gender/sexual identity, age, social class, ability, learning styles and religion/spirituality. These major areas of emphasis are examined in the context of poverty, language, power, and oppression. Students will study these areas of structural inequity and their intersection with the agriculture community. There are no required prerequisites for this course. The course is a hybrid, part of term course with both in-person and online instruction.
