Education and Society
This course will introduce learners to a broad range of theories, issues and debates about the societal roles and functions of schools, universities and education systems around the world. Taking a sociological perspective, the objectives of the course are to:
•Introduce learners to a range of theories and approaches to critically analyze the roles of education in society
•Debate and discuss the ‘grand challenges of education’, namely the challenges of participation, relevance, flexibility, quality, and funding
•Examine the relationships between schooling and national and global identity formation
•Explore debates about social mobility and reproduction through education in the context of gender, race and social class
•Investigate the phenomenon of student-led social activism in varied socio-cultural contexts
•Consider the challenges and implications for education systems in a century marked by rapid technological innovation and change
We will engage with leading scholarship in the field, representations in the media, and our own educational experiences to explore these and other student-directed topics. Students will develop skills in academic reading, writing, presentation, and discussion.
