Critical Theory and Pedagogy Syllabus, Summer 2017 (original) (raw)

This independent study engages the field of critical pedagogy. It traces the genealogy to the various disciplines, schools of thought, and theoretical frameworks that inform and substantiate social and political thought-and specifically, critical pedagogical thought. Hence, the notion of praxis (the alliance between theory and practice) is at the heart of the conversation. With the desire to forthrightly grapple with difference and questions of racism, class struggle, gender and sexuality, etc., this course is committed to both social justice ideals within US schools, but also the transformative goals within society. It is interested in developing and sustaining a humanizing/liberatory education for both teacher and student.
