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.
