About this Unit
In 2015 this unit replaced by 102120 Cultural Diversity, Society and Learning. Using theoretical perspectives drawn from sociology and cultural studies, the unit explores cultural diversity by examining concepts of culture, Identity, difference, whiteness and relations of power as they operate within Australian society. This examination forms the basis for understanding relationships in schools and in the broader community. Integral to this, students will develop their cultural literacy by examining the intersections of gender, sexuality, class, race, ethnicity and religion in identity formation. Students will have the opportunity to explore these relationships and their effects in schools and classrooms, and within different text and media.
