This course focuses on the history and philosophy of U.S. higher education. In particular, the course will take a critical analytical approach to understanding the philosophy and history of postsecondary education, including how philosophical approaches to, and the history of, U.S. higher education continues to be shaped by the ongoing realities of persistent violence toward Black and Indigenous populations, as well as institutional investments in neoliberalism, academic capitalism, and corporate managerialism as the main modes for recognizing the project of the University. As such, the course will explore how historical discourses of privilege, power, and oppression influence how one thinks about what postsecondary education is, who it is for, how it is organized, and what one's role as an educator can be as a result.
