In this course, students investigate how internationalization, globalization and democratization of education effect curriculum, teaching, and learning across a wide range of cultural contexts. Educational foundations lenses (gender and sexuality; culture, race and ethnicity, Indigenous perspectives; socio-economic status, class and religion; location space and time; and other lenses) will be employed to critically analyze education in various nations. Students will be introduced to fundamentals of Comparative and International Education (CIE). In addition, the course is designed to support students becoming advanced academic learners in education. Through structured experiences, small group sharing and support, personal research including reading and writing, students have opportunities to explore their own perspectives as well as those of others in relation to CIE.
