Course Introduction
Multiculturalism Studies explores the complex dynamics of cultural diversity within societies, focusing on the coexistence, interaction, and integration of different cultural groups. The course examines theoretical frameworks and practical approaches to understanding how ethnicity, race, language, religion, and identity shape individual and collective experiences. Through case studies and critical analysis, students learn about the challenges and benefits of multicultural policies, issues related to inclusion and social justice, and the impact of globalization on cultural exchange. This course equips learners with the tools to critically assess multicultural practices and develop culturally responsive strategies in various professional and social contexts.
