COUN 8940 DIVERSITY AND WELLNESS ISSUES IN HIGHER EDUCATION (3 credits)
This course is an exploration of holistic wellness and of power, privilege, social identities, social justice theories and multicultural issues and practices within the context of higher education. We begin by offering foundational definitions of terminology used throughout the course and delve into understanding systems of oppression, privilege, power, and activism through a holistic wellness lens. We then explore and discuss specific social identities, returning again to think about identity through a social justice lens.
Prerequisite(s): Full admission to the UNO Counseling Department and/or permission from the Counseling Department Chair. Not open to non-degree graduate students.
