Overview

Cultural Studies and Social Thought in Education at Washington State University includes popular culture and media, social justice, environment, ethics, aesthetics, race, ethnicity, gender, and social class, which are applied to a range of educational sub-fields that include literacy, educational leadership, teacher leadership, school reform, curriculum theory, higher education, science, art, special education, and bilingual/ELL (English Language Learners).

Features

The overall goal of the faculty is to articulate a cohesive and supportive community of educational scholarship and practice.

While coursework is important, we work to establish a strong program of mentorship in which doctoral candidates are mentored into the world of research, knowledge generation and dissemination, and pedagogical and social action.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

We are committed to the idea that our scholarly endeavors stimulate positive change in schools and the communities and society those schools serve.

Education, whether it takes place in the formal settings of schools and museums or the informal contexts of home and the movie theater, is defined by its cultural context.

Cultural studies take these cultural contexts as the essential starting point to build research projects and define teaching practices.
