M.A. & PhD
Curriculum studies is a distinct area of scholarship and field of study. While it is an area commonly located within departments of curriculum and pedagogy, curriculum studies enables inquiries into notions of curriculum writ large. Scholarship in curriculum studies engages epistemological and ontological questions through conceptual lenses such as:
- curriculum as discourse, document, plan(ned), live(d), hidden, null
- historical and political
- internationalization of curriculum studies and research
- cultural theory
- critical theory
- feminist and poststructural perspectives
- social and ecological justice
