Doctor of Philososphy [Ph.D] [Educational Culture, Policy and Society] From University at Buffalo

We pay special attention to institutions, policies and practices that facilitate individuals' well-being, and social and economic outcomes, as well as those that limit them. We focus on the links between educational institutions and broader social, cultural, political and economic forces. The Educational Culture, Policy and Society PhD program also focuses on cross-national comparisons of educational policies and practices central to policymakers, and school leaders around the world.

Our doctoral program in educational culture, policy and society is for you if you are interested in the links between educational institutions (P–16+) and broader social, cultural, political and economic forces and consequences. We examine the roles of social forces such as race, class, gender, (im)migration and economic restructuring in shaping differential trajectories and outcomes for varying learning communities. We also engage multidisciplinary perspectives in reimagining the possibilities of schooling and education to nurture more inclusive and just societies.
