EDUC-204 Urban Education

Shaped by social, political, and economic forces, urban schools reflect diverse societal issues and inequalities. In this course, students will first examine the historical foundation in which issues and inequalities in urban schools are rooted by exploring such topics as urban development and distribution of economic opportunity, migration, immigration, segregation, housing and rezoning. Next, students will explore how inequalities impact urban schools and then how experiences in urban schools reproduce inequalities of access and opportunity to education.
