Course Description:
Since the end of the Second World War, education has emerged as simultaneously a right in and of itself, a crucial space that can either reproduce discriminatory practices or subvert and resist them, and a means through which knowledge of human rights can be promoted. But what do these developments in human rights and education mean in the everyday lives of formerly and currently colonized and oppressed peoples in the US and around the world? Who, if anyone, should have a right to education? If they have a right to education, do they have a right to a particular kind of education? Our course will explore these and other questions through readings, discussions, and a collaborative research project. |
