Doctor of Philosophy in Teaching and Learning, Multicultural and Equity Studies in Education
As a doctoral student in Multicultural and Equity Studies in Education, you will carefully study the ways that identity have structured and marshaled to create inequality in teaching, learning and educational research. You will explore these contexts from social, historical, cultural, transnational and global perspectives.
Faculty and students in this area of study are concerned with social justice in education. This demands the sort of in-depth examination of racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, xenophobia and their intersections that multiculturalism in our global society requires.
Students who began the T&L PhD program in AU25 or beyond will follow the curriculum of one of the five new specializations associated with the PhD redesign. This area of study only pertains to students who began in AU24 or before. If you are a student who started in AU24 or before and want to switch into one of the new specializations, please work with your faculty advisor to determine if this is appropriate for you.
