ESS 33619 - Race and Ethnicity in Public Education

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Education

Description:

This course explores the multiplicity and complexity of race, ethnicity and culture in U.S. public education. Through its focus on the histories and contemporary realities of racial and ethnic groups in the United States, we will develop critical knowledge about the contingent, layered, and contested development of educational policies, institutions, and curricula. We will achieve this, in part, by examining the interplay of various racial and ethnic groups, numerous and sometimes competing interests, and the impact of power, history and place upon public education. Through an exploration of these complex relationships, students will not only develop a stronger foundation in the politics and history of race and ethnicity in public education, but will also engage in more nuanced and critical analyses of contemporary issues. The goal of this course is to provide students with the tools necessary to critically and thoughtfully engage in and contribute to discussions and behavior that will support successful, affirming and healthy public education for all children.
