Abstract

This book develops a progressive program of engagement with issues, problems and critical thinking which helps universities and students understand and engage with some of the key issues of our time. It focuses on curriculum concerns, and presents a sustained and critical analysis and dialogue about knowledge, culture and ways of seeing important issues.

This book provides critical and analytical insights into the importance of the emergence of mass higher education into public awareness. It explores what is termed ‘contested knowledge’ as part of modern students’ experiences and expectations. By broadcasting some of the future prospects for a democratic university, especially in relation to its communities, it highlights the need to grasp the significance of global change and instability in teaching and learning, and how an adequate curriculum in higher education can be constructed to address the issues that arise.

KeywordsCurriculum matters and critique; Education; Indigenous Australians; knowing ‘country’; Inequality; social justice
