EDUC 780 - Critical Pedagogies in Curriculum


Prerequisite, Ph.D. in education major. Critical pedagogy takes as a central concern the issue of power in the teaching and learning context. This course focuses on how and in whose interests knowledge is produced and “passed on” and views the ideal aims of education as emancipatory through the lenses of major critical theorists. The focus is on social injustice and how to transform inequitable, undemocratic, or oppressive institutions and social relations. (Offered as needed.) 3 credits
