CAP 601 Cultures of Schools and Communities

This course examines educational communities as complex socio-cultural settings shaped by political, sociological and historical forces, as well as digital advancements and recent global events. Through autoethnographic reflection, fieldwork, and theoretical engagement, students interrogate the intersections of identity, power, and policy in educational spaces, with particular attention to how major events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, AI advancements, and other political and social-cultural shifts reshape institutional cultures, structures and practices. The course emphasizes developing frameworks for equity-centered practice that responds to contemporary challenges in education. This course requires approximately 15 hours of fieldwork.
