HD 583 - Social Justice Pedagogy

3 credit(s)

The roots of Education for social justice lie in the works of John Dewey, Lev Vygotsky, and Paolo Freire. Their work resonates in the Educational and social philosophies of W.E.B. Dubois and bell hooks. Yet today, much of what passes for progressive critical Education has been diluted in order to meet the needs of the status quo, and Education for social justice has been lost. Students will evaluate the theoretical works of John Dewey, Lev Vygotsky, Paolo Freire, W.E.B. Dubois, and bell hooks, and create progressive critical pedagogy Grounded in participatory democracy and social justice.
