EDUC 5504G - Inclusive Pedagogical Spaces

This course will investigate assumptions and implicit biases about inclusion in pedagogical spaces, including online environments. Students will use socio-political frameworks to interrogate embedded educational systems that support inclusion and exclusion in education. Students will explore the multiple and intersecting identities that people have and the variety of ways that identities can be included and excluded in education. Topics such as belonging, (intersectional) identities, democracy, and critical consciousness will also be explored. We will anchor each interrogation in research and our own experiences.
