Human rights education at Curtin University : the interconnections of education, research and advocacy

Western Sydney University

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the human rights education program provided by the Centre for Human Rights Education (CHRE) at Curtin University in Perth, Australia. Although we are providing an overview of the curriculum and the pedagogical processes, we also focus on the broader purposes of human rights education in creating awareness that contributes to social change. Drawing on policy examples from Australia, the interconnections of education, research and advocacy in tertiary education will be explored.
