Doctor of Philosophy in Teaching and Learning, Critical Studies in Education: Race, Justice, and Equity
CSERJE prepares highly qualified scholars to affect change in society. The specialization bridges theory and practice and deeply engages students in liberatory research practices (i.e. decolonizing, emancipatory, and humanizing theories, methodologies and methods) while also offering space for critical interrogation of historical practices that have harmed and disenfranchised communities. Faculty ask students to engage in deep reflexive understanding of the ways their selves are in relation to their worlds (both global and local and the interactions between those two) that provide critical implications for policy and practice. CSRJE prepares students to build with families, social groups, schools, organizations, and communities to interrupt and disrupt injustices while re-centering experiences and knowledges often held at the margins of society.
Students who began the T&L PhD program in AU24 or prior should follow the curriculum of one of the 8 areas of study associated with the PhD program prior to its redesign. This specialization only pertains to students who began in AU25, or, those who began prior and have already discussed and executed a specialization change with their faculty advisor. If you have any questions regarding which plan of study is most appropriate for you, please consult with your faculty advisor.
