EDU-630 Foundations of Education (3)


This course emphasizes diversity, inclusion, and antiracism in the context of the historical, political, social, and cultural influences on our US education system. Students examine a range of topics related to the role that education plays in social reproduction, maintenance, and transformation. Emphasis is placed on the ways that schools have served as vehicles of opportunity and/or oppression for different groups in our society. Analyzing one’s own positionality is an integral part of the course.
