Selected Graduate Course Descriptions:
Select Qualitative Methods, Feminist Methodologies
This qualitative research seminar focuses on an array of feminist research approaches. We read both methodological scholarship on how to theorize and implement a feminist research project as well as various exemplars that demonstrate these methods in action.
Qualitative Inquiry:
Narrative Inquiry
Narrative Inquiry
This qualitative research seminar focuses on the use of narrative inquiry in the study of educational issues. We read both methodological scholarship on approaches to narrative inquiry research and read varied research exemplars that demonstrate these methods in action. Students have the opportunity to conceptualize, craft, and implement components of a small scale narrative inquiry project using course readings and tools.
Body Politics in Education
This course focuses on theorizing the body and embodiment in educational practices. Drawing from interdisciplinary scholarship, we will examine how educational imaginaries have nurtured, sorted, as well as policed particular bodies at different historical moments. To explore questions of embodied experience, as well as objectification, social anxiety, and resistance, we will consider educational issues such as teaching labor, conceptions of dis/ability, policies on transgender students, and immigration, among others, in terms of their broader significance for the national 'body politic.'
Gender, Theory, and Education
This course focuses on the historical and theoretical foundations of gendered experiences, processes, and practices in education.
Qualitative Inquiry:
Material Culture
Material Culture
This qualitative research seminar focuses on collecting and analyzing documents in qualitative educational research. We read both methodological scholarship on identifying, theorizing, and using documents (with some attention to artifacts) in qualitative research and read varied exemplars that demonstrate these methods in action. Students will have the opportunity to conceptualize, craft, and implement course tools in independent research.
