EDPROF 741 : Teaching for Social Justice and Inclusion

Postgraduate course

Project description

Can education make a contribution to a broader social justice project or does education serve to reproduce existing social inequalities? This course takes schooling contexts and social justice seriously in order to consider how teachers and schools can foster more equitable and inclusive spaces. We adopt a critical, sociological lens to consider the relationship between education and society and we make use of philosophical thinking to pose searching questions without straightforward answers.
