ED 172A — Critical Race Theory and Education

[ ss ]

Explores racial stratification as it pertains to public education in the United States. Examining Critical Race Theory as a foundation, the readings and activities in this seminar will provide not only a background to the theory but will expose how the theory has and can be applied to educational disparities. The publications of legal scholars will serve as the anchor texts from which we will deepen our understanding of applications in the education field. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the course activities require a synthesis of scholarship beyond critique and toward intellectually creative manifestations. Special one-time offering, fall 2023.
