Susan Roberta Katz GSE Alumni
Lead Groundbreaking Human Rights Program at USF
Shabnam Koirala-Azad
Emma Fuentes
Susan Roberta Katz, Ph.D. Language, Literacy and Culture ’94, a professor of International & Multicultural Education (IME) at the University of San Francisco (USF) and a visiting professor at the Graduate School of Education, has developed an emphasis in Human Rights Education (HRE) for M.A. and Ed.D. candidates at USF, the first pedagogical college in the nation to offer that option.
Katz has plenty of support from her GSE and USF colleagues. USF assistant professors Shabnam Koirala-Azad (Social and Cultural Studies ’04) and Emma Fuentes (Social and Cultural Studies '05) helped develop and teach new courses for the human rights program.
Katz and Koirala-Azad were awarded two grants in 2007 to research previously piloted courses, recruit additional instructors and develop the curriculum. A total of 17 IME students enrolled in the program’s second semester this spring with many more expressing interest for fall 2009 term according to Katz, who teaches two GSE courses: “Approaches in Teaching English as a Second Language” and “Teaching Linguistic and Cultural Minority Students.”
The Human Rights Education program was recently featured in an USF News article.
