EDUC 166. College for All? Challenges in Higher Education.


In this seminar, students will examine institutions of higher education as spaces within which individuals and social structures are both reproduced and recreated.  Questions to be explored include: How has the history of US postsecondary education shaped the present? What are the goals of the many different forms of postsecondary institutions?  Who has access - and who controls that access?  How do institutional structures and cultures impact student learning, student identity, and student experience? The seminar will focus explicitly on how institutions and student experiences are shaped by the intersections of race, class, gender, sexual orientation.
