MEDUC 543 - Globalization and Education

Credits: (3)
Students will study post-colonial developments in educational policies in the Sub- Saharan Cameroon, and compare these to developments in the United States since Brown v. Board of Education. Through this comparative approach students will be invited to reflect anew, from international perspectives, on the effects of globalization on U.S. educational policies, and on teacher-student relations in U.S. classrooms. As a culmination of their study, students will complete a final research project. The project will include a rigorous review of the literature. Students will collaborate with the professor on a topic related to globalization and education.
