Representation of families exist everywhere. Students will explore dominant social, cultural and institutional narratives about families which underpin these representations and consider the influence they have on curriculum-making and decision-making in schools. Interrupting the living out of these dominant narratives, students will determine ways to use knowledge that resides in families to co-construct educational experiences for children. Weekly hours: 3 Seminar/Discussion hours
