Teaching Assistantship Available for Spring 2010

The Department of Educational Policy Studies and Evaluation is seeking applications for an EPE 301 teaching assistantship available starting spring 2010 semester.

EPE 301, Education in American Culture, explores the context of teaching and learning in American society, both within and outside of the classroom. EPE 301 critically examines different perspectives on education and culture, explores anxieties and aspirations about schools, the ways popular culture influences schooling, and studies the impact of race, class, gender, ethnicity, religion, language, and nationality, both past and present, on teaching and learning.  EPE 301 considers what roles schools play in constructing and perpetuating inequalities and opportunities, as well as the specific dimensions and practices of schools which marginalize or privilege particular groups of people.

Responsibilities include teaching two sections of EPE 301each semester as well as participating in a bi-monthly teaching seminar. All of the graduate teaching assistants are strongly encouraged to attend department gatherings and colloquia. These assistantships include a stipend and tuition reimbursement.
