Description
This course examines the structural barriers and institutional practices in schools that have helped to create and sustain socioeconomic inequality and educational inequities. Through readings and discussions, students closely assess past and current education policies based on stated aims and observable outcomes. Emphasis is placed on understanding social and ideological factors that shape American education in ways that are inconsistent with the democratic aspirations of America’s founding documents and education reformers’ rhetoric.
