CNR 110 provides an opportunity for a diverse student population to explore the question of race and cultural differences in a global society. This course requires that participants actively explore their biases and cultural prejudices for greater enlightenment. The class is designed to help students develop the capacity to have difficult discussions around issues of race and other topics (gender, sexual orientation). This course challenges sources of conventional information such as media outlets, empirical data, and prevailing folklore. The course represents an opportunity to have a positive impact on the matriculation and graduation rate of diverse student populations through positive reinforcement and affirmation of cultural heritage and background.
