Justification For Request

What research has led to this request?

Slavery did not end in 1865, but changed its form. This class allows students to engage with the historical beginnings of slavery and brings this type of labor organization where we can see it in the present day. Due to modern day shifts in hiring practices, students who have cultural fluency and diversity are being recruited by many different fields in larger numbers. Topics in slavery definitely provides students with new perspectives on contemporary problems as well as teaches them reading and research skills.

What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?

This course will support the History department by offering students a research-based class that is focused on cultural fluency and diversity.

What financial costs are associated with this request?

No fees, other than tuition, are associated with this course. Students will need to be able to access Moodle, respond to emails, and potentially connect through Zoom or Teams software.

If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?

In accordance with CeTeal OER training I & II, I have developed the course to be completely free for students. If used, both Zoom and Teams are free for students.
