About this Unit
In 2015 this unit replaced by 102308 - Personal Identities in Professional Practice. Who do you think you are? Will provide students practice in the analysis of historical documents, family narratives, autobiography, political and social issues around a project that will give a context for their own personal story. Students will develop skills in oral history work, locating and retrieving archival documents and compiling their own 'family tree'. Students will also develop skills in practising speaking and writing genre appropriate to their own family history. An introduction to the theory of identity and identification will enable students to appreciate the complexities of becoming.
