Research Seminar: Dr Steven Stolz: MacIntyre, rationality, and education: against education of our age
- Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2021, 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
- Location: Online Seminar: Registration Required
Dr Steven Stolz PhD, Lecturer at the School of Education, presenting MacIntyre, rationality, and education: against education in our age.
This presentation is based on a book titled, Alasdair MacIntyre, Rationality, and Education: Against Education of Our Age that has been published by Springer. Despite MacIntyre being known as an academic who has made many notable contributions to a range of areas in philosophy, his thinking on education is not as well-known and/or properly understood by most audiences and readerships that predominantly reside in educational contexts. With this in mind, this presentation aims to provide a critique of MacIntyre’s thinking about education.
Research Seminar: The affective power of counter stories: Race critical pedagogy for thinking and feeling
- Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2022, 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
- Location: Online Seminar: Registration required link below
Dr Samantha Schulz presenting "The affective power of counter stories: Race critical pedagogy for thinking and feeling".
Teaching for racial equity is important but challenging work. Despite its importance, such work remains largely optional in Australian schooling. Policy frameworks that reference ‘diversity’ or ‘racial inclusion’ tend to be conceptually limited and satisfied tokenistically. Genuine racial literacy requires confronting our differential investments and complicities in racism as structural violence. To support this work with Australian teachers requires negotiating the discomforts necessary for transformative learning.

Teaching Individuation – towards a pedagogy of personality growth
- Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2022, 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
- Location: Zoom
The field of education is something of a hybrid, continually incorporating insights from other disciplines such as psychology. Given educations emphasis on learning, the behavioural and cognitive psychologies have naturally dominated to date. In comparison the psychodynamic or depth psychological approaches have had limited impact in the education field. There are many reasons why this is so, and I am not arguing for a reversal of this score, however I do think the ground has been broken for a deeper influence in the future.
