Urban Education.  

Catalog description

This course explores urban education through critical readings, fieldwork, and writing. Drawing on multiple frames that account for race, class, gender, and (im)migration, urban schools are explored as sites that produce inequalities and modes of resistance. Historical, socioeconomic, and political analyses are used to understand access to quality education and how to achieve it. Understanding how systems, structures, policies, and practices sustain and reproduce inequality reveals the pressing need for transformative and abolitionist approaches in urban education.
