ESS 30624 - Survey of Historical Developments in American Education: 1650-2010

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Education

Description:

This course is an opportunity for students from a variety of disciplines to familiarize themselves with a lynchpin of US democracy - American schooling. The course will begin with a focus on the political, social, and economic factors impacting the emergence and evolution of American schooling over the history of the nation. A special emphasis within the evolution of American schooling will be placed on how a variety of constituent groups - immigrants, Native Americans, and African-Americans were, and often still are, educated separately and differently than their "white" counterparts. Private and parochial education will also be touched upon. This course is in no way meant to be an exhaustive history of American schooling but an introduction into the significant events in the history of American schooling and their social, political, and economic influences. Students will garner additional historical contexts to use when analyzing modern day educational trends and issues in American education.
