SOC 380 - Education and American Culture

Institution:

The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

Schooling is a primary nexus of American cultural contestation - that is, it is a critical arena in which competing visions of who America is (or should be) clash. Examining education and its related social processes, then, provides much insight into American culture, its cultural processes, and its complex institutional relationships. Issues of opportunity, equality, and mobility must, in particular, receive careful attention. Knowledge gained from this course will be of value to any U.S. resident, but particularly to those who wish to deepen their understanding of the cultural foundations and complexities of U.S. education.
