Contextual Studies (Education Contexts)

The Education Contexts Teaching and Research Group offers undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and supervision that focuses on the social, historical, philosophical, religious, international and curricular contexts of education. Specific units also examine the educational impact of issues such as gender, indigeneity, race, colonialism, and school-community relations.
