REC 201 - Introduction to Leisure, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion for Just Communities

This course focuses on how justice, equity, and liberation can be taken up within and promoted through recreation, leisure, and community. Emphasis is placed on just communities that put liberation of all peoples at the forefront of relations including self-care, community care, and environmental care. It explores why social justice matters by introducing issues related to inclusivity, privilege, power, marginalization, identities, and oppression. Topics for critique and resistance may include, but are not limited to gentrification, capitalism, settler colonialisms, environmental injustice, and other systemic barriers at play within our leisure lives and communities.
