EDU 5140 Transformative Education

3 Hours

This course explores the theory of transformative learning and examines how education becomes a mechanism to change frames of reference, critically reflect on experience, and develop new ways of knowing. Transformative educators are social entrepreneurs, engaged active citizens, community development agents, and advocates for others. This course explores those roles in relationship to transformative literacy and shows how access to literacy can either empower of marginalize groups of people.
