Graduate

EDUA 7230        Social Criticism in Education: One important goal of education, as a field of study and practice, is to cultivate the ability to think critically about the social context in which people teach and learn. The goals of our public education system have often been established in ways that largely reflect the interests of those with political influence on the operation of societal institutions (including schools), at the expense of the interests of society as a whole, and in particular marginalized groups. Through this course, students investigate teaching as an inherently political and moral enterprise and the impact of teachers’ daily actions in building a more equitable society.

EDUA 7340      Seminar in Educational Thought: Through an examination of the publications of Indigenous and Black scholars and scholars engaging in decolonial, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive education, students explore a variety of topics and make explicit connection to their own teaching and/or research praxis.

EDUA 7860        Advanced Topics in Educational Research: Land-based Institute: This special topics course, co-taught with Dr. Amy Farrell, takes an Indigenous approach to education research methodologies and inquiry with a blending of hands-on experiential learning (praxis) and critical discourses (theory).
