Syllabi addressing diversity and justice.
These syllabi were collected by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning (ACSP) and its Planners of Color Interest Group (POCIG). This initiative is an effort to promote the inclusion of different experiences and perspectives into planning education with an emphasis on equity, democracy, and social justice.
