Transfers ToUC and CSUCal-GETC Area 4DescriptionThis course introduces the history and philosophy of public education in the United States, how and why certain school-society issues first arose in this country, and how those issues have changed over time with an emphasis on critical social justice-oriented theories and principles that actively address the dynamics of oppression and privilege within the context of education, society, and culture. This course examines society as the product of historically rooted, institutionally sanctioned stratification along socially constructed group lines, including race, class, gender, sexual orientation, and ability. It also includes a survey of the political economy, dominant ideologies, and existing educational practices that have precedents in various historical eras with an examination of the history of education of girls and women, People of Color, minority groups and people of varying socioeconomic classes.Usually HeldSat 9:35am–11:00am
