Title: Diversity & Multicultural Ed
Course Section Number: SOC-303-01
Department: Sociology
Description: Cross List: EDU-303-01 = BLS-270-03 = SOC 303. This course introduces students to a sociological study of diversity in the U.S. system of public education, with particular attention to schools as sites of social conservation and reproduction. Readings, discussions, and written assignments explore the ways in which opportunity and (in)equality that exist in the wider society are reflected and perpetuated by typical approaches in U.S. schools. These explorations of challenges for schools are accompanied by an examination of multicultural and inclusive curricula and instructional practices. We consider the theoretical underpinnings of multicultural education as well as examples of curricula and practices designed to ameliorate education inequities. This course will satisfy the Diversity Requirement for the PPE major.
