Critical Race Theory in Education

EDUC 118FS

Critical exploration of systemic and endemic racism and ways that structural racism intersects with educational systems. Course begins with an examination of identity, positionality, privilege, bias at the individual level, then moves to an analysis of institutional structures and systems. Students will reflect on their educational experiences and apply case study analysis to their own K-12 education utilizing the framework of critical race theory. Students will examine data on educational inequities and work in teams to prepare a policy proposal that addresses systemic racial inequities within K-12 education.
