    Description
    This course is designed to prepare students and professionals who will be working with young children to negotiate the cultural and sociopolitical contexts of a diverse society. Students will examine the contexts of race, culture, gender, and socio-economic class as they relate to child development and respectful interactions with families in an educational or social service environment. The focus will be on transformative education that encourages self-examination and reflection on issues related to social identity, stereotypes and bias, social and educational access, media and schooling, and creating pluralistic environments for children and families.
