Concentration in Education, Culture, and Society

Coordinator: Dr. Tanja Sargent (848-932-0732; email: tanja.sargent@gse.rutgers.edu)

This concentration offers a doctoral concentration that will attract a diverse cohort of students who desire systematic and rigorous advanced study of theoretical and practical issues related to social and educational equity, change, and reform. The intended audience for this concentration is school and higher education leaders, reformers, policymakers, and teachers. The goal is to enact improvements to practice and thus to improve the process of education.
