We have an opening for a half-time teaching assistant this spring to teach one section of EPE301.
EPE 301 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 the impact of race, class, gender, ethnic, and regional dynamics, both past and present, on teaching and learning. EPE 301 considers what roles schools play in constructing and perpetuating both inequalities and opportunities as well as the specific dimensions and practices of schools which marginalize or privilege particular groups of people.
Students interested in this teaching opportunity should contact Dr. Alan DeYoung (ajdey@coe.uky.edu) as soon as possible. Decisions will need to be made quickly to prepare for January start.
