Using a variety of interdisciplinary theories, this seminar considers the ways that gender and intersectional differences are formed, enacted, and resisted in formal and informal educational institutions and spaces across time and place. Using analytic frames such as intersectionality, this course will explore how emergent socio-political processes, discourses, policies, and practices such as neoliberalism and diversity have shaped belonging/exclusion/silencing, equity, and social justice in education. Throughout the semester, we will consider the following questions: In what ways do educational institutional cultures construct gender, belonging, and "diversity"? How do students, teachers, and communities respond, resist, and recreate educational spaces and experiences? How do educational spaces and experiences contribute to or undermine intersectional gender disparities?
