For your final paper in this class, students will identify an issue of social justice/injustice, a current “hot button” issue or policy impacting education. Students will conduct research on the background and context of the chosen issue, analyze the broader systemic view (e.g., national, state, and /or local), interview 3 individuals (including multiple perspectives from different constituencies) and discuss possible solutions for change (drawing on the Design Justice Principles and students/communities’ Funds of Knowledge). Pulling in research and interests from prior assignments is welcomed and encouraged. The paper should be no more than 4 pages—what is important is that you cover each of the required sections in the rubric.
