Unit Description

In this unit, understandings of the self and culture are explored to develop important knowledge and skills involved in the enacting of generative interpersonal and intercultural relationships. Students are required to build upon their understandings of culture and knowledge making processes to enact a working framework for engaging in interactions between themselves and others. The potential power relations between different people and groups are explored with a view to making them explicit, recognising the partial authority of participants in interactions and examining and critiquing knowledge making practices that seek to be equitable and generative.
