Instructor(s): Staff
Credit: 1
Struggles over control of public education are central to the project of democracy and its promise of inclusion, equality, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. In this course we will read political theorists and actors who take up heated questions concerning the content and reach of public education. The first half of the course engages ideal models of education proposed by liberal, democratic, and radical theorists. The second half of the course looks at how these ideals are taken up by social movement actors in the United States from the era of civil rights and massive resistance to racial integration, through the rise of neoliberal reform and increased school policing, to contemporary curriculum battles and attacks on LGBT youth in schools.
