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.

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.
