ED 255 - Multicultural Perspectives on Public Schooling in the United States


This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the historical, social, cultural and political context of public schooling in the United States. We will examine how the complexities of race, socio-economic status, linguistic diversity, culture, and gender shape the educational process in the United States. Readings are placed within the context of public schooling past and present in order to help students (1) identify and unpack the ways that their social location has shaped their educational experiences and (2) uncover the assumptions they have about people who are culturally, linguistically, racially, and economically different from them. 

Four credits.
