This course examines the social foundations of education (traditionally philosophy, sociology, and history of education, but also cultural and equity studies). Through an interdisciplinary framework, this course considers the roles that schooling systems, teachers, and students play in both reproducing and challenging social inequities and injustices. Students will critique education processes that reproduce and challenge social inequality through analysis of literature and policy and dialogue about contemporary issues and practices.
