‘Crossing Identity Boundaries’ course devoted to identity politics
A class to be offered this spring at Ohio State University is an identity politics-based course that in large part is focused on teaching students how to detect microaggressions and white privilege.
The course is dedicated to social justice themes, and pledges to teach students how to “identify microaggressions,” define and address “systems of power and privilege,” advance notions of diversity and inclusion, and prioritize “global citizenship,” its description states.
“Crossing Identity Boundaries” aims to expand students’ “self-awareness” and help them develop “dialogue skills.”
