Note
on Departmental Foci: Faculty and student research and interests
represent a variety of approaches to sociology and equity studies in education.

for students who may wish to focus their activities in the areas listed
below, as well as in the Interdisciplinary and Interdepartmental Foci and
Collaborative programs. Students are not required to stay within a single
focus when selecting courses.
Critical
Race & Anti-Racism Studies in Education
Relevant Courses: Courses in this focus provide students with

and sexuality) and a critical reading of multiple social oppressions revealed
in different sites and sources: schools, universities, local communities,
media, law, and cultural production.
