AFRS 353 - Pedagogies of Difference: Critical Approaches to Education

1 unit(s)

(Same as EDUC 353) Pedagogies of difference are both theoretical frameworks and classroom practices- enacting a social justice agenda in one’s educational work with learners. In this course, we think deeply about various anti-oppressive pedagogies- feminist, queer and critical race- while situating this theory in our class practicum. Thus, this course is about pedagogies of difference as much as it is about different pedagogies that result. We will address how different pedagogies such as hip hop pedagogy, public pedagogy and Poetry for the People derive from these pedagogies of difference. The culminating signature assessment for this course is collaborative work with local youth organizations. Ms. Cann.
