Level 1 Voices of Resistance

Course Description

In this course students will explore the relationships between storytelling, power and control.  We will analyse how narratives and language can shape, manipulate and control individuals or groups in times of adversity.

This course explores the power of storytelling as a form of resistance within many contexts including New Zealand.  Students will examine how narratives, both traditional and contemporary, have been employed by various communities to resist , assert cultural identities, challenge social injustices, and foster positive change.

This course will delve into the diverse range of storytelling mediums, including oral traditions, literature, visual arts, film, and digital media, to understand how they contribute to shaping our world.
