ED235 - Critical Multicultural Education
This course provides an introduction to critical multicultural education in the context of the sociopolitical issues surrounding U.S. schools today. The course begins with the examination of culture as a framework through which our identities are shaped. Students will analyze how oppression and power operate in the context of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, language, dis/ability, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation in the public school system. Students will examine critical multicultural education as a platform for civil rights and social justice through coursework and weekly observations at a local urban high school. Students will critique the current structure of public education that perpetuates inequalities while also celebrating practices that disrupt inequities and foster critical hope. As a culminating experience, students will participate in a community based “Project for Change” proposal to advance critical multicultural education in our local community. Meets the Critical Perspectives: Social Inequality requirement. Meets the Equity and Power: EPUS requirement. (Not offered 2024-25).
