Description

Historical redlining has created marginalized communities in the 21st century, including inside the classroom walls. Students from diverse populations bring their different funds of knowledge into the classroom, but historical redlining has created barriers to accessible resources and opportunities. Beyond the Red Line: Building Equitable Communities challenges students to create a forward-looking vision for equitable communities. Students will choose their preferred medium for their project. Aspects of students' designs will include innovative solutions to housing, economic mobility, and access to resources. It advocates for at-risk communities and prioritizes reimagining urban spaces where all students can access appropriate resources, opportunities, and a sense of belonging. Students will collaborate to create a neighborhood or community that promotes social justice and advocacy for their peers in their community.
