MED 580 Structural Inequity in Education

Fall-Spring, Summer Semesters

Candidates will be invited to critically reflect on the structural inequities inherent in the American education system. This will originate with an investigation of critical theory and a close reading of foundational texts explaining the historical context of educational inequity. Candidates will also explore student conditions in uniquely inequitable systems, with special attention paid to urban education. Candidates will synthesize critical theory with their personal experiences in education. Candidates will learn a variety of techniques and will design curricular products that are informed by their understandings of educational inequity. 3 credit hours
