Power,Identity&Intersectional

Catalog description

Students explore structural theories of race, class, sexualities, and gender in an effort to understand how these discourses impact unequal educational experiences and outcomes, and the ways in which power and the powerful benefit from marginalization. Students unpack how schools operate as a mechanism for reproducing marginalization through a racialized, gendered, and classed social order. Through this conversation, students can begin the journey of working toward classrooms and schools that challenge the status quo and aim for a more just society.
