Teacher Education Concentration, Cultural Studies of Educational Foundations Specialization
The Cultural Studies of Educational Foundations specialization (CSE) leads to a PhD in Education at the University of Tennessee. The CSE doctoral specialization explicitly links the fields of cultural studies (e.g., anthropology, philosophy, history, and sociology of education) to prepare graduates to work in high level professional careers in a wide range of settings such as higher education, K-12 education, community-based agencies and community-based participatory research, research institutions and other applied educational, social and political settings.
The mission of the doctoral specialization in Cultural Studies of Educational Foundations (CSE) in the Department of Theory and Practice in Teacher Education is to ground students in theoretical, philosophical and research foundations of human learning and development, cultural and social contexts of educational environments (both formal and informal), and skills for inquiring into and critiquing these environments.
