This course will provide students with a foundational background in Ethnic Studies with regard to theories about the construction Race and Ethnicity as well as in the epistemologies derived from scholars within African American, Asian American, Native American, and Latinx/Chicanx Studies fields. Additionally, this course helps students understand the historical inequalities reproduced within education and schools, the knowledge produced by these communities and the strategies used for resistance and liberation. Likewise, students who complete the course will have better understanding of the role of intersectionality, identity, and collective struggle play in educational institutions. Units and lessons taught in this class will prepare students to utilize the concepts and methods of Ethnic Studies in teaching and pedagogical practice in K-12 education to better serve and advocate historically marginalized communities of color. This course is not open to students registered in or with credit in EDUC 6.
