IME 608 - Foundations of international and Multicultural Ed

Unit(s): 3

This course offers an introduction to International and Multicultural Education through an overview of urban & multicultural education, social justice education, and international and comparative education. The aim of the course is to examine different ways that scholars have conceptualized the relationship between schools and societies, in distinct moments and from distinct theoretical positions. The readings introduce students to philosophies and critiques of schooling as well as to broader cultural and political theories of teaching and learning that challenge common-sense definitions of education as an intentional, classroom-based process.
