SERP603

043295

SERP 603 is designed to engage doctoral students in a critical exploration of Special Education issues and trends as located in social, cultural, philosophical, and historical contexts through the lenses of equity and justice. The course is designed to build and expand critical, technical, and contextual foundations in Special Education through engagement with topics, theories, empirical works, speakers, and learning experiences in the special education department's three programmatic areas of (a) Special Education Professionals and Evidence-Based Practices; (b) Race, Culture, Language in Special Education; and (c) Leadership, Policy and Administration of Special Programs. Students will develop and use a conceptual framework as a tool to situate their own scholarly interests and research trajectories within or intersecting with broader special education scholarly communities. By the end of this course, students will understand how the special education program's mission shapes engagement in the field, will have an area of research focus connected to the special education programmatic strands, and will be familiar with scholarly work related to their topic of interest.
