Course Description

The capstone course in the major and a study experience that extends and advances the ideas that define the critical educator, transformative intellectual, and public pedagogue. Projects build upon a common set of core readings and are guided by the instructor and peer community. This course thus involves the development and completion of a significant and creative intervention in the field of education studies that is shared beyond the classroom, in this case with, at least, the rest of the department and interested members of the DPU community.

Complete a literature review, research proposal, and presentation on a relevant, meaningful educational issue (transformative intellectual, public pedagogue) C.
