Teaching

Teaching is underpinned by social constructionism and critical theory, aiming to develop practitioners who are culturally safe, skilled, compassionate, curious, theory- and research-driven, and critical in their analysis. Exploring ways to embed Indigenous perspectives into curriculum and de-centring Western constructions of knowledge are key areas of teaching interest.
