Educational Studies

专业介绍

Our goal in Educational Studies is to engage deeply with the enduring challenges and opportunities that confront teachers, children, educational leaders and families in educational systems and organizations. Through critical and interdisciplinary study, in partnership with schools, communities, youth, educators and leaders, we seek to build knowledge and create systems-wide educational change for a more democratic, just and sustainable society and world.

We do so by:

• Fostering a caring, respectful and humanizing community of engaged scholars and learners.
• Building capacity to embrace equity and social change, and to disrupt systemic racism, and other systemic injustices, as they take shape in everyday practice and structures, knowing that education and its effects are never neutral.
• Believing that systems change begins in powerful partnership with and for families, school and community educators, leaders and activists, teacher educators, researchers, and policy makers.
• Imagining and designing systems, policies, learning environments and practices that contribute to rich, engaging and transformative educational experiences for all learners.
