Full Description
This authored text critically examines the theory and practice of college internship programs grounded in equity, diversity, inclusion, and access (EDIA) to examine issues such as infrastructure, inclusion, and privilege through "provocative praxis," a form of provocative inquiry that drives the ethics of pedagogy to envision student success both equitably and sustainably. Chapters use real-life, scenario-based examples through a social-justice framework to engage readers and spark multi-directional discussion aimed at removing obstacles to equitable participation in internships for all students. Ultimately, this book offers a holistic understanding of internships that factors in the social, economic, and cultural challenges faced by college students today, and calls for wholescale reform to college campus internship programs.
