In EDUC 5610 Comparative & International Education, 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). Educational foundations lenses are used to critically investigate CIE. Other lenses include Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning (CTL), and major challenges, such as the pivot to alternate modes of delivery due to Covid-19. The graphic organizer below is helpful in framing the analysis. In addition, Comparative Ethnographic Narrative (CEN) will be used as a conceptual framework (Howe, 2022).
