The investigation of environmental discourse and ruling ideologies in the school textbooks in North and South. 

 

Hours of engagement & delivery mode

4 weeks (24 June to 19 July 2024 )

Description:

This project aims to analyse environmental issues and the dominant ideologies that are embedded in school textbooks in North and South Korea. This project analyses Korean textbooks for primary and secondary school which were published in North and South Korea.  Textbooks are means which legitimise the government ruling ideologies. Through this project, I will look into how school textbooks portray the environmental issues and government ruling ideologies, and whose interest they portray.

 

The students will have the opportunity to translate Korean textbooks into English, and gain scholarly insight how texts and images are carriers of certain values and ideologies. They will learn how to read and analyse texts critically, and reveal dominant ruling ideologies embedded in textbooks.

Expected learning outcomes and deliverables:

Students will develop critical analytic skills of texts, and will have an opportunity to translate Korean into English.

Suitable for:

This project is open to receive applications from students with high bi-lingual skills (Korean and/ English), UQ enrolled students.
