Tools

This section provides a curriculum for teaching students how to analyze, and write about, the social systems they navigate on a daily basis. The curriculum gives them the tools of structural and ideological analysis. It asks them to use the tools to look deeply at their experiences and problems they face. Writing gives them an opportunity to communicate those depths to readers who would benefit from the uncovered view. To see how students use the tools, visit the Analysis section.
