MEd in Critical Studies
The impact of unequal power relations on education.
Critical Studies in Education attracts people working in all areas of education: classroom teachers, consultants, directors, administrators, counsellors, and others. This graduate course of study examines questions about unequal power relations in the larger society and their impact on Education in its broadest sense. It is an important area for anyone interested in working toward creating more equitable social relations and socially just educational communities.
Courses engage with a range of related contemporary critical theories, including critical race theories, post-colonialist approaches, feminist theories, maternal literacies, indigenous theories, queer theories, critical disability theories, and class analyses.
The area provides a critical foundation for all areas of policy, research, and curriculum, for example, critical literacies, early childhood education, First Nations education, inclusion, health education, cultural studies, gender studies, media studies, and popular culture studies.
