EDUF 8631 - Foundations for Social Justice Education (3 Credit Hours)

Lecture Contact Hours: 3
This course is a sustained inquiry into the historical and theoretical foundations of social justice education with a focus on connections between those foundations and contemporary struggles to overcome educational inequities. This course provides students with opportunities to learn about and reflect on theories and concepts related to social justice education and the application of social justice praxis within formal and informal educational contexts. A main objective of this course is to provide students with an accessible framework through which they can understand and disrupt interlocking systems of oppression and injustice within and beyond the formal educational environment that negatively impact the educational experiences and outcomes of racially, culturally, socioeconomically, and linguistically diverse learners.
