This course is an ethnographic study of the interrelatedness of educational and cultural practices and how they affect different social groups in Canadian and global contexts. It considers how cultural politics affect schooling, its outcomes, and the range of educational opportunities for different students in relation to their ethnocultural backgrounds. Examining both the historical and contemporary dynamics of schooling, the course examines how the schooling-larger culture interaction shapes the social, political, and economics dimensions of students' lives.

This course examines key theoretical and pedagogical aspects of multicultural and anti-racism education with a focus on how race, ethnicity, colonialism, and diversity shape issues of equity within school systems and the communities they serve.

This course explores, in theory and practice, contemporary issues related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression in K-12 schools. It draws upon critical scholarship to explore issues related to the construction and regulation of teacher and student identities, school leadership, bullying, violence, and discrimination.

NOTE: Community Service Learning (CSL) is an integral and required component of this course.

Anti-Oppression Education confronts practices that create inequitable experiences and outcomes in diverse spaces where education and learning take place, from day-to-day life and within communities to schools, universities, and other institutions. The course approaches oppression as an outcome of interlocking structures that compound and shape each other, including ableism, colonialism, heteropatriarchy, racism, sexism, transphobia, and ethnic nationalisms, among others. Students will come away from the course with foundational knowledge of anti-oppression theory and practice so that, as educators, they can build inclusive learning environments, respond critically and with care to the lived experiences and learning needs of diverse students, and cultivate a philosophy and pedagogical practice aimed at transformation.

This course examines the interplay of education and international development in diverse contexts of our world.

The intent of this course is to explore and further our understanding of reforms in education over the past two decades in Canada and other selected OECD countries. Through academic readings, we examine how and why particular policy discourses (e.g. school choice, system accountability) have become accepted in recent years. We further consider the implications of policy reforms for practices within educational organizations. The design of this course reflects the view that reforms cannot be comprehended without considering the social, political, economic and historical contexts in which they arise.

This course will examine the role and nature of adult education and learning processes in social change initiatives being undertaken by development non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and by popular subaltern social movements of pastoralists, peasants, indigenous peoples, rural women and urban poor (shack dwellers) social groups in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean (Global South). These initiatives will be explored in terms of a critical contextual appreciation of the inter/national development project and neoliberal globalization.

In this course we will examine key issues in adult learning and development, using concepts discussed in the literature. Content areas include theories of adult learning and development, and related concepts such as learning styles and orientations, personality, motivation, and intelligence.

This graduate seminar introduces students to key feminist contributions to explanations for social phenomena (i.e. theory) and key feminist debates on how we know what we know (i.e. epistemology). Feminists' key contribution to epistemologies has highlighted the power relations that shape the biases which inevitably inform any and all knowledge production. The course draws on Indigenous, Black, Dalit and anti-caste, Third World, and Women of Colour feminist theories to explore the variety of epistemological challenges these pose to canonical feminist theories and considers their implications for a variety of sites of education: from classrooms to policies and activism.

This course will develop a critical understanding of select perspectives on globalization and the associated implications for: (a) formal, non-formal and informal education in local, national, and international contexts; and (b) pedagogical possibilities for critical global education in schools and communities addressing global issues pertaining to international development (poverty and inequality in North-South trajectories), ecology, human rights and improved prospects for peace.

The course examines the concept of race and its manifestations in society and the education system. We engage with the idea of race as philosophy, race as theorized by sociologists and race as a historical discourse. Further, the course highlights how such modes of analyses and conceptual frames are theorized, utilized and legitimized. Students may not receive credit for both EDPS 501 Race, Racialization and Education and EDPS 526.

This course explores the relationship between youth, culture and education particularly with reference to formal schooling.

Students may not receive credit for both EDPS 501 Youth, Culture and Education and EDPS 527.

This course examines the socio-politico-economic and health impacts and implications of rapidly escalating climatic change on diverse groups and populations. It examines barriers to climate justice, particularly for marginalised and Indigenous populations and explores pathways to achievement. More-than-human or multi-species justice will also be a topic. An important focus is the role of Indigenous communities and Indigenous knowledge in responding to and mitigating the impacts of climate change on planetary health. Other responses such as the role and forms of activism, and political responses are also included. Participants will have the opportunity to develop solutions-oriented case studies, curricula for teaching climate change to school pupils and policy analyses and recommendations.
