FYS300

In this seminar, stories, once the primary way knowledge passed from one generation to another, are the basis for examining educational topics and issues. Students read fictional, biographical, autobiographical, and other narratives to learn more about some aspect of education and/or schooling. Topics may include students' experiences in school; teachers and teaching; public and private education; and how race, class, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or other markers of identity shape educational opportunity. Students conduct fieldwork.
