New Pedagogy Studies: Frontiers and Provocations

Course aim

To provide opportunities for educators to rethink theory, policy and their practice through engaging with ‘new pedagogy studies’ and specifically to problematise educators’ work through foregrounding pedagogies for justice.

Course content

Students will critically examine aspects of new pedagogy and curriculum studies covering theory, practice and policy. Students will undertake case studies of theorists, theories, practices and policies, including Friere, productive pedagogies, multi-literacies, funds of knowledge, place-based local literacies, feminism, anti-racism and eco-justice. Students will critically apply these to their own educational settings and engage in new thinking around the frontiers of equality/justice, pedagogy and the terrain of effect, pedagogies of embodiment and culturally responsive pedagogies.
