This course examines how race, gender, class, and sexuality intersect to influence identity, power structures, social relationships, and societal issues in modern communities. Students will explore the complexities of these social categories, enhance their cultural awareness, and engage in critical self-reflection to understand how their own perspectives, personal assumptions and biases shape their interactions. Students will learn how to develop their abilities and cultural competence toward improved interactions with diverse populations in law enforcement, public safety and other professional settings.
