AFST 30788 - Multicultural Education in the New Millenium: The Sociopolitical Context

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Africana Studies

Description:

The success or failure of students in school has been the subject of much research and debate, particularly for students whose racial, ethnic, linguistic, or social class backgrounds differ from that of the dominant group. This course will focus on both the individual experiences (psychological responses), and how societal and educational structures, policies, and practices affect student learning. Students will explore ways that teachers, individually and collectively, can provide high quality education in spite of obstacles that may get in the way. Multicultural education will be placed within a broad sociopolitical context considering education, politics, society, and economics.
