EDUC 201: Identity and Difference in Education

The course EDUC 201: Identity and Difference in Education includes topics such as critical race theory, power, privilege, and tenets of queer theory.

The course description states that it will focus on “how we think about students and teachers, and how we, as students and teachers, are socially positioned in our roles and our various identity categories and community attachments” and “explore ways of knowing, teaching, and learning related to differences in identity and affiliation including school subjects and lessons learned from communities.”

The syllabus also states that it is “designed for students interested in reflecting on their own experiences as learners, those considering careers in some form of teaching, and anyone interested in reflecting on how issues of inclusion, exclusion, power, and privilege influence educational theories and community-based practices.”
