Education in Multicultural Society


The course introduces the participants to the study of cultural diversity in society and the impact this has upon our understanding of education. By building on literature in sociology, anthropology, philosophy and political science, the course provides an interdisciplinary approach to discussions about the place and the role of education in a multicultural society. The course deals with questions related to race, ethnicity, language, religion, gender, democracy, and human rights from this interdisciplinary perspective. The course also examines approaches to diversity in education, such as critical multiculturalism, interculturalism and anti-racism, and their underlying principles. Examples will be drawn from both Swedish and international contexts.

The course combines lecturing, seminars, discussions and group work with compulsory assignments. Mandatory attendance (at least 70%) applies to seminars and group work. Absence is supplemented with a written assignment. For details see the course description.
