      • Request was made for time to reflect. Will revisit this for approval March 17th.

    1. Primer on Reviewing DPD Courses – Nana Osei-Kofi
      • Please check DPD process
      • Learning outcomes need to be listed seperately
      • Make sure that each proposal is U.S. focused and each needs to offer multi-disciplinary perspectives
      • Evidence of active learning; what will students be engaged in/participation
      • Students need to understand social construction
      • Intersectionality - students need to understand social identities and social structure, depending on class level i.e. entry level courses should have more emphasis on this as students should be learning these subjects to help them navigate higher level courses
      • Most DPD courses are in Women's Studies and Ethnic studies, so larger issues addressing others courses will need to be addressed in the future
