Description

Advertisement

Coursework is focused on preparing students to become agents of educational change and improvement through consideration of issues of equity, race, social class, gender, social justice, community relations, and globalization.

This concentration allows students to develop theoretical frameworks and perspectives critical to grappling with issues of social justice and equity in educative settings and processes. Students will gain common knowledge and form a supportive network of scholarly practitioners concerned with similar issues.

The concentration courses allow students to shape a specialization in a particular area or set of areas to meet their own practical and intellectual goals. The research methods build on the knowledge of inquiry methods begun in the common core and allow students to gain special expertise with particular modes of intellectual inquiry.
