3 unit(s)

H. Giroux (cross-listed as CULTR ST 729)

This course will examine the intersection of cultural studies and critical education in both the early and later work of a prominent number of cultural studies theorists and educational theorists. The course will examine the primacy of pedagogy in the early work of prominent cultural studies theorists such as Raymond Williams, Stuart Hall, and Paul Willis and how such work not only provided a way to make the political more pedagogical but also gestured towards connecting work in higher education with a broader set of social issues and public commitments.
