Desc:COMPARATIVE AND INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION. This section is designed to be a broad overview of the political economy, sociological processes, and ecological determinants that shape education here in the United States, as well as within several international contexts. This section will enable students to: 1. become familiar with multiple purposes and strategies for engaging in comparative and international education; 2. develop the skills needed to critically articulate how examining the educational environment cross-nationally provides an understanding that extends beyond limiting analysis to a singular policy, practice, or national context; 3. distinguish how the structure of an educational system can affect its role within a nation, influence how the system engages questions of equity and funding, and how the system responds to national crises; and 4. understand the regional and international significance of ongoing systems of stratification by race and ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status and what role education plays in disrupting or reinforcing these systems.

Desc:BREAKING DOWN THE SCHOOL-TO-PRISON PIPELINE. What is our understanding of the school-to-prison-pipeline (STPP)? The historical, political, social, and economic systems that have created the STPP particularly for students from marginalized groups, and the short and long-term impact of STTP. More so, what alternatives are there to break the STPP? This section will critically explore (1) the systems that have created the STPP (2) How STPP is enacted at the micro and macro levels (3) the impact of STPP on individuals, families and communities (4) understand how the STPP disrupts the STEM pipeline for marginalized students through an intersectional analysis of the interactions among STPP and STEM pipeline (5) alternatives to break the STPP both in practice and policy. Throughout the semester, we will critically analyze how STPP operates in regard to race, gender, class and other social identities. This will be a multidisciplinary course and will include readings from education, sociology, social work and public policy.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
