Education, Technology, and the Future Pedagogy of Latino/a/x Students.

Catalog description

This course explores three main questions involved in the education of Latino/a/x and other nonwhite youths in the US; namely, (1) how do immigration and technological innovation affect the education of students within majority-minority schools in the U.S.? 2) How does the emergence of new technological innovations affect the development of pedagogical practices for teachers and administrators within these schools? and 3) what is the role of technology in both the creation of new forms of educational pedagogies, future careers and opportunities as well as new forms of less overt inequality, exclusion and racialization in schools concentrating Latino/a/x youth and historically racialized students? The course will draw on interdisciplinary theories within Latino/a/x Studies, De-colonization theories; Critical Pedagogies, Racialization, Intercultural education, Immigration, Inequality and Social Mobility, to examine the role of education and technology in the emergence of new forms of pedagogies, inequality as well as opportunities for social mobility among historically excluded school youths.
