Enrol now for Practising Inclusion: Working and Teaching for Social Justice - LX at UTS

Interested in deepening your understanding of equity, diversity, social justice and inclusion beyond the rhetoric and drive positive change? Enrol now for a brand new microcredential with limited sponsored places for UTS academic and professional staff.

Starting May 2 – Practising Inclusion: Working and Teaching for Social Justice

This interactive, online, six-week-long microcredential will introduce you to the fundamentals of equity, human rights and social justice and their role in actively shaping a more inclusive higher education space.  

You will learn to: 

  • explore the concept of inclusion and exclusion in higher education  
  • understand the experiences of historically marginalised groups 
  • consider how culture, diversity and identity impact on learning and social interaction
  • examine the principles for inclusion and adapt them to own professional context 
  • create conditions for change that produce more just, inclusive and equitable spaces  
  • take action in your own work and life 

There are six modules, two assessment tasks that relate to your personal life and professional practice, four synchronous sessions – and plenty of online interaction!

The teaching approach of this course is underpinned by critical pedagogy following Paulo Freire. It includes two phases: awareness raising and action for change. Modules 1-3 focus more on awareness raising; Modules 4-6 emphasise actions for change. The five teaching strategies that underpin this course are listed in the diagram below. These strategies are all interdependent and form a relational frame.

There are four online synchronous sessions:

  • Week 1: Monday May 2 (11am-1pm)
  • Week 2: Thursday May 12 (1-3pm)
  • Week 4: Thursday May 26 (1-3pm)
  • Week 6: Monday June 6 (1-3pm)

Enrol now!

Enrolments are now open and the deadline is Wednesday 27th April.
