The Interdisciplinary Minor in Education, Schooling, and Society
(ESS) uses the tools and resources of a liberal arts perspective
to reflect on, understand, and influence the role of education in
society. ESS applies diverse disciplinary approaches to questions
of central importance in education such as:
- What is the purpose of education?
- How does the history of the US educational system contribute
to its present form and goals?
- Are educational opportunities equitable for all?
- What factors influence educational achievement?
- How do students learn and which classroom and teacher factors
influence learning?
- How does education contribute to the development of the "good"
citizen and the "just" society?
