For those interested in “antiracism,” education awaits.
At the Charlotte campus of the University of North Carolina, the state school’s offering a graduate program in that very subject.
A UNC Charlotte webpage hails its “Graduate Certificate in Antiracism.”
Here’s how it’s described:
The Graduate Certificate in Antiracism provides a coherent curriculum that draws from four content courses addressing race and racism in professional or organizational spaces. The Certificate caters to individuals interested in an advanced degree that provides an understanding of education in urban environments with a focus on race, racism, and antiracism.
What will entrants get out of it?
This:
The certificate will demonstrate that students have completed coursework enabling them to become justice-oriented change agents in the organizations in which they work.
The program brings to mind a May announcement by the University of Central Florida.
UCF launched its “Social Justice In Public Service” graduate certificate.
From the website:
Students will understand factors that contribute to inequity among various groups, with a focus on providing a theoretical background and methods to analyze social justice issues in public service. They will understand principles of social justice as they apply to government and nonprofit sector in education, health, transportation, and housing policy domains among others. … The Social Justice in Public Service graduate certificate seeks to develop leaders who can influence policy to create social justice.
