Course Description 

This course is an introduction to Critical Race Theory and its application to and use in education and education research. We will examine the ways in which race has been conceptualized, theorized and researched within the broader fields that comprise the social sciences and education. We will also examine the ways in which race intersects with other aspects of difference including, but not limited to gender, class, sexual orientation and native language.
