Description:

This course explores the link between racial and ethnic relations in the U.S. and the American education system. We will discuss sociological understandings of racial and ethnic inequality in education over the past several decades. Moving beyond black-white inequality, this course will examine the political, cultural, and historical perspectives of racial and ethnic inequality among and between racialized groups in the U.S. Students will be introduced to central sociological debates within the fields of race/ethnicity and education. We will also pay some attention to the changing nature of racial and ethnic inequality in education over the latter part of the twentieth century and the future of racial and ethnic inequality in education during the 21st century.
