We persistently sentimentalize children (until adolescence) in our culture, feeling them to be governed jointly by the unfolding of natural developmental processes and the influence of adults. This perspective is challenged by examining children as (sometimes reluctant) participants in social institutions, as enactors and re-negotiators of prescriptions based on age, and as creators of peer society. 1.000 Credit Hours 1.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Primary Meeting Undergraduate College College Education Department Return to Previous New Search

The course will use a variety of resources and approaches including media, print materials, and research that involves observation and field work. A major question driving the course would be: How do educators approach teaching about White Privilege in urban and suburban settings (if they do at all-and if not, why not?) and what difference does it make in student learning, attitudes, and values? The observation and fieldwork component of the course is designed to start a dialogue, particularly with Providence area secondary teachers, about the issues of White Privilege and critical pedagogy. 1.000 Credit Hours 1.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Primary Meeting Undergraduate College College Education Department Return to Previous New Search
