Sociology Of Race and Education

How is racial inequality in education reproduced and challenged? How can research, policy, practice, and the agency of students, parents, and communities help create more racially just educational contexts? In this course, students will engage with sociological tools to understand how race and white supremacy (and other intersecting forms of domination) impact education and how their negative impact can be mitigated. After completing this course, students will better understand how race shapes educational organizations and the opportunities and outcomes they generate. They will also become better equipped to assess the potential efficacy of various approaches to challenging reproductive processes.
