Doctor of Philosophy in Curriculum and Instruction - Cultural Studies, International Education, and Multicultural Education

Graduate students in the CSIEME program are engaged in developing academic knowledge and practical expertise in the cultural, international, and multicultural dimensions of educational praxis including, but not limited to, inquiry into student learning, pedagogy, curriculum development, design, and implementation, teaching and learning reciprocity, educational assessment and evaluation, media and visual arts, popular culture, literacy, new literacies (technology), and textuality, locality, transnationalism, and globalization, and, equity and social justice in relationship to both individual/self and collective/social formation. This specialization requires student engagement with issues of race, color, ethnicity, geographic origin, immigration status, language, caste, socioeconomic class background, employment status, sex, gender, gender identity and expression, family configuration, sexual orientation, physical, developmental, or psychological ability, age or generation, religious, spiritual, faith-based, or secular belief, among other dimensions of difference as these manifest in educational contexts. Research in this emphasis area requires students to develop comprehensive understanding of-among other interpretive stances, frameworks, and communities-critical theory, critical race theory, post-positivist paradigms, constructivist and constructionist theory, and postmodern theory.

The Cultural Studies, International Education, and Multicultural Education (CSIEME) concentrations are comprised of three related disciplinary strands that promote interdisciplinary and decolonizing approaches to research and teaching.

Multicultural Education is the core strand. Multicultural Education engages critical pedagogy as the basis for social change through promotion of the democratic principles of social justice.

Through enactment of critical pedagogy focused on knowledge, reflection, and action (praxis), Multicultural Education accepts and affirms—through radical transformation of interpersonal interactions, curricula, and instructional strategies—the pluralism that students, their families and communities, and educators represent.
