| Description: This course introduces students to the key concepts and central questions informing the field of Ethnic Studies in K-12 educational settings. Despite the radical origins of Ethnic Studies, the field must navigate mainstream education reform efforts, which continues to rely on dominant conceptualizations of literacy and knowledge as well as acritical visions for nation-building and global citizenship. The course will explore the socio-political conditions that underscore the urgency for Ethnic Studies and outline the pedagogical orientation of Ethnic Studies programs. It also carves a space for reflection on the role that educators and teacher-activists can play in the movement to transform K-12 schools. |
