The aim of the Open Teaching Concept (OTC) is to explore the issues of diversity and social justice, access and disparities, policy and poverty over a variety of disciplines, methods, theories, and paradigms. Looking at topics such as human rights, civil rights, hunger, multiculturalism, gender, labor and production, health, education, LGBTQ rights, economic opportunity, sexual violence, class, religious difference, and environmental sustainability - OTC allows students, faculty, and staff to dialogue on the larger questions of social responsibility, global citizenship, and the ever-widening, ever-constricting local-global nexus.
Theme for Fall 2016:
Contested Spaces and the In-Between: Reconstituting Citizenship, Democracy, and Power
