Education
Undergraduate Seminar
Th 10:10AM-12PM
This course is designed to provide students with a deeper understanding of the processes, players, and purposes of educational policy. It asks us to consider and reconsider the ways that we generally conceptualize educational policy from idea to implementation. Rather than taking a content-specific approach where we might study different forms of educational policy, such as language policy, school choice, and special education, the course thinks collectively and deeply about the long-arc of injustice, inequity, possibility, and resistance from historical redlining to the climate/covid crisis as well as the actors who create, revise, and sustain educational policy in formal and informal educational spaces. As we do this, we will be asking you to think about a particular content area and how we might reimagine the policies in this area as we face the multipronged crisis of a planet that is burning amidst a global pandemic.
