Using Interactive Learning Spaces for Global Diplomacy: Social Justice Collaboration between US and International Students
Moore, Matt; Mann, Ana
Journal of Teaching in Social Work, v40 n4 p336-351 2020
Students from six countries collaborated on projects promoting social justice and aimed at international diplomacy. The collaboration included social work students in policy courses and international students in English courses. Students explored topics such as human trafficking and poverty. Students identified global strategies for addressing these social inequalities through Sen's (2009) and Estes' (2009) models of social justice. Additionally, faculty members used inquiry- and team-based learning to engage students in this educational process and their exploration of global social justice. The collaboration was possible because of learner engagement tools available in an Interactive Learning Space. This paper will outline the lessons learned from faculty members and students who participated in this international collaboration, as well as the impact of this collaboration on course outcomes.
