This chapter we will be acknowledging and bringing awareness to the historical discrimination that has barred education and research access to those in the Psychological field due to color, gender and other racial biases. Only by understanding this prejudice and racial discrimination can we discover the root causes of inequity and recognize those in the field that had a direct and positive contribution to the development of the field of Psychology.

The Open for Antiracism (OFAR) Program – co-led by CCCOER and College of the Canyons – emerged as a response to the growing awareness of structural racism in our educational systems and the realization that adoption of open educational resources (OER) and open pedagogy could be transformative at institutions seeking to improve. The program is designed to give participants a workshop experience where they can better understand anti-racist teaching and how the use of OER and open pedagogy can empower them to involve students in the co-creation of an anti-racist classroom.

This syllabus explains the goal of the course which is to provide students with a comprehensive and critical coverage of U.S. foreign policy since(and before)  World War II. Through a coherent chronological narrative, the course traces the evolution of U.S. foreign policy, centered on whiteness which, by default, institutionalizes racism.

The goal of the term paper question is to give students agency in discovering the hypocrisy and racism of U.S. foreign policy since (and before)  World War II. The students are asked to pick and choose details from peer-reviewed, academic books, which challenges the assumption of the US operating with an ethical framework. The key purpose is for students to understand the following:What caused past U.S. involvement in foreign wars and interventions?Were the results of U.S. policies good or bad?Were the beliefs that guided U.S. policy true or false?

Through a coherent chronological narrative, the course traces the evolution of U.S. foreign policy from its assumption of world leadership during and after World War II to its present concerns with sprouting democracies, a militarized policy, and global economic and political interdependence.

This is a 2-part assignment designed to help students to explore how culture can impact one's view of mental health and mental disorders. In part 1, students are invited to explore how culture impacts mental health, for example how mental disorders are regarding in different communities and the potential cultural stigmas regarding mental disorders and treatments. Using their own identified culture, students will explore how mental health & well-being are approached by that culture. In part 2, students will focus on a particular psychological disorder and how that disorder is perceived in their chosen culture. Students will provide a short write-up/recording of their findings and also create an infographic or visual targeted toward members of their culture.Students are encouraged to be creative in designing their visual and are also encouraged to create a multilingual visual, if appropriate.

This syllabus is for a course that offers a systematic and in-depth introduction to the sociology of social problems. We will examine some of the more commonly identified social problems in contemporary society with an anti-racist lens. The class will introduce core concepts and methods that sociologists use to study social problems incorporating an anti-racist lens. We will apply these concepts of systemic racism and intersectionality to topics including poverty, food scarcity, residential segregation and gentrification, gender and sexual violence, health and environment, incarceration, the school to prison pipeline, mass media stereotypes, family and welfare. The end-of-semester projects will let students choose a social problem of interest to them, explore it in great detail, and then teach classmates about it.

Contemporary sociological approaches to racism center on explaining the well-documented persistence of racial inequality and racial discrimination in an era of declining overtly racist attitudes. This assignment provides students an opportunity to teach classmates about the manifestations of racism in some of the most pressing social problems of our times. Furthermore, students can share the most effective ways of combatting racism when it shows up in these pervasive but often less visible ways.
