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.

All of the graduate teaching assistants are strongly encouraged to attend department gatherings and colloquia. These assistantships include a stipend and tuition reimbursement.
