• The program considers disciplinary approaches to studying the role of education in a variety of social processes, such as citizenship and nationalism, identity formation, immigration, globalization, and political and economic transformations.
  • Students focus on the interplay between these broader processes and the local contexts in which they play out. Many courses are interdisciplinary, emphasizing urban and international issues and perspectives and drawing on frameworks from disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, political science, philosophy, psychology, and linguistics.
