项目概述

Certificate code CTDIVU

The Diversity Studies Certificate is an interdisciplinary certificate program that is available to all newbb电子平台 undergraduate students. It is intended to complement and enhance a student’s general education, academic major and/or career preparation. We live in a world that is becoming more and more complex at the same time it is becoming smaller. We have more access to others whose identities and cultures are different than our own. 给n the unique historical circumstances of the United States, a well-rounded education should facilitate an understanding of the historical, 政治, sociological and legal contexts within the United States and how these various contexts impact our contemporary issues of diversity.

While we know that many types of diversity exist, the diversity studies certificate focuses on five of the most recognized diversity domains in the United States. The areas of diversity addressed through the requirements of the diversity studies certificate are:

• 种族/民族
• 社会阶层
• 性别
• Sexual Orientation
• 残疾

Each of the diversity domains are intersecting and interactive. It is important to “unpack” or deconstruct each diversity domain individually, and then examine their interrelatedness. In learning about these different domains of diversity there is a cross-fertilization of ideas that can be applied to the understanding of diversity issues in general.
