EDCS 8010 - Critical Cultural Theories & Pedagogies for Empowering Education
Provides an advanced examination of the relationships between schools and society, focusing predominantly upon critical theory and its derivatives, in order to understand the role of education and schools’ unique position within society. Any institution with power has the ability to do good, as well as the power to do harm. Explores empowering pedagogies that emanate from critical theories in order to address the role of power and related concepts in educational institutions and provide pedagogical tools for educators and students to critically examine the implications and consequences of how we educate. Examines the societal, cultural, institutional and personal domains as we inquire into how we might educate all our young people well in the midst of changing social and institutional contexts, power, and resistance.
