UEL 9010 - Theoretical Foundations of Urban Educational Leadership

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

Kurt Lewin once said, "There is nothing so practical as a good theory". This observation frames an approach to the study of social theory. Theory provides a lens through which students can view social phenomena, a structure within which they can begin to understand the questions they need to ask, and how they might best go about answering them. This course focuses on developing the student's ability to understand, interpret, and critique a variety of theoretical frameworks current in the field of Education in general and in the area of Urban Educational Leadership in particular. Particular attention is placed on examining the relationship between theory and practice. This course focuses on recent post-positivist theories of social research including critical, feminist, postcolonial, and critical race theories. The major intent will be to explore the intersections between these and other theoretical frameworks and practice of scholars, educators, and activists.
