EDLR 2000 Public Pedagogy is offered in Summer Session I, 2026, in an asynchronous online format. It meets TOI-1 requirements.
Course Description: EDLR 2000 provides an introduction to the concept of public pedagogy, which refers to learning contexts and practices outside of traditional educational institutions. These include learning through media, art, activism, social movements, and everyday public life. Students will critically examine how knowledge is produced, disseminated, and consumed in the public sphere, and how these forms of pedagogy influence social, cultural, and political life. Topics include media consumption, popular culture, art, social justice, and the intersections of pedagogy with activism. This class is appropriate for non-education majors. In an increasingly globalized world, the topics addressed in this course are useful for students in all disciplines.
