Critical Studies in Education
The purpose of the critical studies minor is to provide students in this program with opportunities to explore and apply critical theories as they relate to schooling, teaching and learning, and educational research. This critical analysis of education is centered on understanding cultural, institutional, and structural dynamics that create and perpetuate injustice, inequity, and oppression in education and schooling. Students will enact educational praxis that opens, and develops, and sustains critical consciousness around inequity, injustice, and oppression and supports those becoming critically conscious.
