Description

This course considers associations between the wider socio, historical and political contexts in which teaching occurs and how and what we teach. By examining issues of power, equality and social justice in education the course will ask students to question pedagogies and think about how teaching practices can include and exclude.

Learning Outcomes

  •   Read texts for the different ways learners and teachers are constituted and or how  
       different versions of learning compete.
  •   Demonstrate an understanding of pedagogy as political activity with the power to include and
       exclude.
  •   Question pedagogical practices and draw conclusions about notions of equality and justice in
       relation to learning.
