Taught as 42040 in Nagoya. This course explores the study of education from a comparative perspective, using Japanese primary, secondary and tertiary education as the primary areas of concentration. The course provides an overview of comparative education as a field of study, and addresses the topics of a) the relationship between education and cultural, economic and political change; b) the relationship between education and the structure of equalities (in terms of class, ethnicity, gender, race, religion). A number of theoretical constructs relevant to the study of education and development are introduced. While topics related to the Japanese education system and its reform are given the most extensive treatment in the course, overviews are provided of educational systems and trends in other countries, particularly those of East Asia and the United States.

This practicum/seminar is the logical outgrowth of a long informal relationship that student volunteers have had with families in the Michiana community who have autistic and other special-needs children.

Concepts of human growth vary extraordinarily across time and space. When children become full-fledged persons, when they can reason, when or whether they should be independent from their parents and how all this happens are variable and illuminating. Education -- either formal or informal -- reflects and also constitutes a society's view of childhood. This course provides a (selective) cross-cultural survey of childhood and education, looking at stages from pregnancy and infancy to late adolescence. Students will devise and conduct projects of their own.
