013387 Gender, Power and Learning

This subject provides an opportunity to examine the relationship of gender and learning in all fields of education. It gives students the opportunity to become familiar with scholarship and research in this field and to examine some of the initiatives which have been taken in vocational, workplace and school education to remove barriers to learning for girls and boys and women and men. While examining the operation of gender in specific educational contexts, students are invited to reflect on their own assumptions and develop their personal and professional philosophy of gender equity.
