Education: The Social and Historical Context - EDUC106

This unit explores the contexts in which Australian education occurs. The perspectives that inform the unit are predominantly sociological and historical, but the disciplines of cultural studies, philosophy, politics and economics also have a strong influence. The unit gives emphasis to issues of social justice and social disadvantage and also considers these matters in contemporary education.
