The International and Multicultural Education Department is dedicated to understanding formal and informal education within diverse socio-cultural, linguistic, political and economic contexts.
Based on principles of intersectional justice, human rights, and solidarity the program critically addresses the realities of education within and beyond the borders of public schooling in the United States and around the world, while also building new ways of being and doing.
Our program equips students with the skills needed to engage in public scholarship, pedagogy and organizing work that addresses many of the key issues impacting education today.
IME was inspired by the educational philosophies of noted Brazilian education philosopher Paulo Freire, with whom the Department’s founders worked closely.
