The aim of the Post-Masters Certificate in Cultural Foundations and Social Justice Education at UNC Greensboro is to provide students with a broad understanding of the cultural, social, political, and ideological forces that have shaped, and continue to shape, education in the U.S. Building on this knowledge the certificate introduces students to those pedagogical traditions that speak to the quest for more socially just institutions and social structures, and the movements, both political and intellectual, that have been instrumental in this quest. The required courses for this program are intended to provide students with a broad, interdisciplinary exposure to the rich scholarly and research traditions that currently shape studies in the cultural foundations of education and social justice.
