Secondary education in Australia is viewed through the lens of culture and identity, with a specific focus on "race", class, gender and rurality. Students explore systemic and structural inequalities within education and develop appropriate classroom policies and practices which work towards possibilities for the future. Themes explored will include: the distinctiveness of youth culture; youth culture and other forms of cultural diversity; identity and resistance to schooling; culturally inclusive curriculum and pedagogy.
relate effectively to others in cross-cultural situations within lectures, tutorials and interactive workshops and vicariously through readings;
describe and critique features of educational policies designed to promote non-sexist, non-racist and other non-discriminatory ways of relating to others;
identify, value and respond to individual learning needs based on approaches to youth culture and constructions of identity through gender, "race", ethnicity, language, locality;
