Transforming Sociology Courses with Human Rights Education: Curriculum, Pedagogy, and Classroom Environment Considerations
Get PDFSociology courses have significant potential to liberate students. A promising way to achieve this aim is by grounding courses in human rights principles such as respect, equity, equality, and democratic participation. Using a college-level, introductory sociology course as an example, this paper explores how a human rights education (HRE) framework can serve as a foundation for the teaching of sociology. The purpose is to show how sociology educators can relatively easily embed HRE into the learning experience. To begin, I will present a HRE framework. Then, I will illustrate how common course topics, teaching methods, and classroom conditions can be based in HRE. Finally, I will conclude by recognizing some constraints that instructors may face when using a HRE framework and strategies for overcoming them. The hope is that this analysis will provide initial ideas to spark curricular, pedagogical, and class environmental changes that, if implemented, will be more likely to guarantee student transformation

Regionalism: The Death or Salvation of Cleveland?
No full textAs Cleveland pursues its decades-long reinvention, a frequent—and often controversial—topic of attention is “regionalism” and the role it could play. But the term means different things to different people, rendering a reasonable discussion of regionalism quite difficult. Is regionalism a ploy to undercut Black political power centered in Cleveland? Or is it a tool for pulling suburban resources into an undeserving central city? Or is it something else? David Abbott will attempt to bring clarity to this discussion and explore regionalism in the context of Cleveland’s challenges. He will touch on:
• Various definitions and forms of regionalism.• Legal restrictions that make some forms impractical if not impossible.• Legal tools that can be used to advance regional arrangements.• Prospects for regionalism in Cleveland’s future. Speaker’s Bio:
