International Investigations in Cuban Education: A Fieldwork Practicum

3 Credits

This intensive research course has three core learning streams. First, our course provides a space for students to engage in international qualitative fieldwork. For many, this will be the first time you are engaging in international fieldwork. We will explore methods and various qualitative practices in the course before enacting these practices in the international arena. Secondly, our course aims to build each student's understanding of our research site by exploring aspects of the political, cultural and historical context. Lastly, our course is designed to be a reciprocal exchange between education scholars and practitioners in both countries. We will survey the history and key aspects of education policy while also sharing our research interests and experiences from our educational contexts.
