The mission of the Social and Cultural Studies program is to examine critically the relationships between education and society. Drawing from sociological, historical, political, and philosophical perspectives, coursework and research in social and cultural studies place special emphasis on analyzing diversity and social inequities generated by factors such as race, gender, social class, culture, ethnicity, language, and sexual orientation. This area of inquiry provides students with the unique opportunity to formulate intellectually grounded and socially responsible philosophies of education that link beliefs about human nature, the social good, and schooling. 2ff7e9595c
