Project description

This course is designed to critically examine the intersection of language, race, and power in education. Through dialogue, readings, research, and critical analysis the course aims to foster awareness of the ways in which seemingly neutral education processes are inherently embedded in power dynamics around language use. Participants will discuss the purposes of education, the ways schooling and education are related to other societal structures, and the potential of education to productively address inequalities, especially as they impact students of historically racialized group (e.g, Latino/a, African-American, Native American, and Asian).
