In this course, students explore “JEDI” – “Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion”- in pursuit of creating socially just outdoor adventure education opportunities for all. Students gain the knowledge, understanding, and ability to provide quality adventure programming in relation to staff and clientele's race, class, gender, and ability. We explore how to create socially just adventure programming through examining environmental, leadership, legal, and equipment modification opportunities for individuals and organizations. Students gain knowledge and experience in "universal adventure programming" through field experiences, guest speakers, experiential course sessions, readings, reflective writing, and active leadership opportunities. Prerequisite: ODL 1000 Foundations of Outdoor Adventure Education.
