WOMGEN 1168 - Education, Race, and Gender in the United States

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

Education in the United States often appears as democratizing and a means of upward mobility, an idea complicated by issues of race, gender, class, and sexuality, all of which shape students' and teachers' experiences. This class examines theoretical and empirical studies on various schooling spaces and practices and explores how intersecting constructs of identity - such as girl, boy, black, Latino/a, Asian, white - become meaningful in schools and bear implications for individuals and society.
