Education Exclusion: Race, First to go to college in your family, Sexual Orientation, Gender. Educational places are supposed to be inclusive, right? Join us in a discussion on how race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and being the first-in-the family to go to the college affect our educational journeys. In our FIG community, we’ll discuss what this all means to our scholarly identity as college students and how we develop ways for institutional change.
Students explore the intersection of topics by taking the following course package:
