HUMT 1600 - Social Context of Education

3 credit hours
Formerly - HUMT 160

Students learn to make sense of the city of Seattle and the schools and neighborhoods in which they are tutoring. This course will provide instruction and insights into the educational context in which BAHT students are immersed through their corresponding freshman tutoring courses (HUMT 161, 162, 163). Students will learn to “read” urban landscapes and to understand what makes a successful neighborhood. They also learn how school communities get made and remade by studying some of the history of residential and educational segragation in the United States. BAHT majors only.
