What's AntiBlackness Doing in a "Nice Field Like Education"

Catalog description

This course considers the foundational texts that constitute the study of anti-Blackness and explores how these theoretical constructs can be applied to educational contexts, policies, reforms, and practices. We will consider the following questions: How does anti-Blackness build on and depart from other forms of racial analysis such as Critical Race Theory;? How have themes of anti-Blackness weaved through Black activists,’ educators’ and scholars’ critiques of education; Lastly, how might the study of anti-blackness provide a foundation for imagining more humane educational practices for all students?
