Program Description

“… the education institutions that we work within are shaped by where they are located, their history and its legacies, and the way power operates within them. As educators our relationship to place, history and power in the spaces we work informs how and what we do – in the classroom, outside of the classroom, with the curriculum, with our education communities” – Dr Sophie Rudolph

Connection to Place

Inspired by the recent REAIE Research Symposium and using the following questions to guide our discussion, we would like to further unpack the ideas and thinking of Dr Sophie Rudolph:

1. How do you connect to place?
2. Why does education need to be contextual and relevant to the local community?
3. How does place and context shape your professional identity and pedagogical practices?
4. In an Australian context, how is teaching a political act?
