EDPP 5500 Educational Activism in New York City Since the 1930s
What have New Yorkers wanted from their schools, and how have they sought to achieve these goals? How have different communities – from Black mothers to Puerto Rican activists to queer youth to interracial coalitions of leftist teachers and many others – sought to make change in New York City schools? How did they understand the nature and operation of the city school system, and what can we learn from their perspectives? This course explores the forces that shaped inequality in the New York City public schools by focusing on the experiences, knowledges, and visions of those who criticized the system and sought to remake it to better serve their schools and their community's needs.
