FACULTY RESEARCH INTERESTS
The Cultural
Studies in Education (CSE) program is a critical interdisciplinary program that
studies social, cultural, philosophical, and historical issues in education,
broadly conceived. The CSE program addresses social and cultural theory, as
well as qualitative and ethnographic methods to study education in a range of
contexts from the funds of knowledge of family and community settings, to the
social, cultural, political, economic, and contested struggles of public urban
schooling. CSE faculty and students recognize the power of alternative ways of
knowing and being, as well as the fundamental importance of racial, ethnic,
gender, and sexual orientation diversity in education. CSE faculty specialize
in sociocultural knowledge and teaching, discourse, critical theory and
pedagogy, contexts of activism in education, identity formation, agency,
African American and Latina/o experiences in education, diasporic community
knowledges, Indigenous knowledge systems, and globalization and education.
