AFST 325 - Studies in Black Education3 Credit Hours
This course explores Black education in the United States, with a primary focus on Black youth and their K-12 educational experiences in public educational settings (e.g., schools and community-based organizations). The course investigates the historical, political, sociological, and psychological issues that impact the educational trajectories, opportunities, and outcomes for Black youth. The approach will be threefold. First, the course will explore what Dr. Carter G. Woodson has articulated as the “miseducation” of Black people, thus identifying how educational sites, teaching, and practices can impact students’ attitudes and efforts as well as the resources that are available to them. Second, the course will explore how Blacks have been agentic in their educational efforts, from developing schools and education programs to teaching and educational practices that contribute to their successes. Third, the course will examine the family-community-education nexus and how these connections matter to Black educational experiences.
