Course programme
Educational institutions are among the most important societal structures. In this course, you'll explore the interactions within these institutions and the role they play in shaping our society.
Topics include:
- The history, evolution, and practices of major educational institutions
- Student cultures and violence in schools
- Whether education is a means of social class change or perpetuates the economic status quo
- The effect of schooling on inequality
This course is not designed to help you teach: it is an objective and critical examination of the pivotal role of education in our society.
