ED 344 - Race, Class, and Gender in Education

(3.00 cr.)

Explores issues and images of race, class, and gender in urban schooling policies and practices. These structures are explored in order to demonstrate the ways in which they impact inequitable educational processes and outcomes for students, educational personnel, and communities. Students examine discourses around segregated schools, battles for desegregation, the "achievement gap", the "model minority" myth, single-sex education, Black boys in special education, and high poverty/high need schools.
