Equity and Education Studies, Minor
|
|
This minor requires students to analyze educational contexts from a sociocultural, equity driven perspective. It is meant for those interested in becoming teachers or entering education-related fields. It takes a critical approach to education and provides students with the tools to analyze the relationship between education and society and begin to effect social and educational justice. The two core courses examine equity and inequity in education and introduce key theories of intersectionality to students. Elective courses help students contextualize their education-related coursework and field experiences in more specific historical, social, and political contexts. The minor is for students interested in K-12 and higher education in and outside of the United States. All students will conduct field work for at least 10 hours in a school setting and may engage in more field work in higher education, community-based education, adult education and/or other spaces in which people engage in teaching and learning.
