Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from Ohio Northern University to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on one main project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.


Learners in this program/experience are introduced to the concepts, theories and consequences of inequality and stratification both domestically and globally. The focus of the course will be on understanding the causes and outcomes of existing privilege, the recognition of intersectionality, and the analysis of stratification systems including those based status, the economy, race and ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, and physical ability.
