Social Theory and Lifelong Learning

Catalog description

This course offers an in-depth coverage of social theory, especially as it intersects with research and practice in adult education and lifelong learning. Considering that educational research, educational practice, and the politics of justice in education are informed by specific theoretical frameworks, this course will explore historical and epistemological foundations of theories and engage core modernist theories, postmodern and critical theories, and the theorizing found in Global South discourses.
