EDUC 7854 - Comparative Perspectives in Education as a Human Right

This course serves as the final course in the Education as a Human Right concentration area. Students will apply the information, skills, and content from the previous three courses to a comprehensive examination of human rights issues in a comparative context. Each time the course is taught, the instructor will select historical and contemporary cases that will serve as the primary comparison points. Students will examine data and models from educational/social/political systems around the world; critique important themes: race, ethnicity, class, and gender; the role of education in national development; cross-cultural research; and theory, policy, and practice in education as a human right.
