Introduction to Education
EDUC1029
This course aims to stimulate students’
thinking about key educational questions
of why, what and how we educate,
with a particular focus on social justice.
You will consider these questions as an
introduction to some of the foundations
of the applied discipline of education. The
course examines selected themes as these
apply in the Australian context, in order to
challenge preconceived notions of schooling
and education. The subject matter provides
you with a framework on which to build an
understanding of education as a discipline
during your undergraduate years.

such as the United Nations and Red Cross.
The course will focus on contemporary
cases, focusing on – among other things
– the genocide in Rwanda, emergency
response to the tsunami, the debt crisis and
global poverty, the challenges of rebuilding
Iraq, the humanitarian disaster in Darfur, and
the question of UN reform.

nature of crime in Australia and the different

GAÉTANHY (FRANCE)
Incoming Exchange student
“My favourite course at UQ is
POLS2310
Politics in Literature and Film.
The main
reason for that is its reading program
is really amazing. It includes only
masterpieces that you must read, from
Voltaire’s
Candide
to Ellis’s
American
Psycho
. But more than that, it gives
you the opportunity to watch and study
many of the greatest movies such as
A
Clockwork Orange, Apocalypse Now
…
That is why this course is awesome.”
