In this course we will focus first on relevant sociological theories of comparative education, and then apply these theories in their practical context by looking at social issues in education in the United States and selected European countries. Next we will discuss the impact of race, ethnicity, language, social class, and gender. Finally, we will consider sociological perspectives on comtemporary education reform, school change, and alternative education.

Class Description

This course explores educational systems across Europe and the United States. It reviews social theories of comparative education, introduces social processes that may explain educational outcomes across diverse contexts, and discusses the implications of educational inequality for the international community.
