Reading Spatiality in Higher Education Curriculum

  • Michael Anthony Samuel
Chapter
Part of the Constructing Knowledge: Curriculum Studies in Action book series (CKCS)

Abstract

This chapter extends the boundaries of higher education curriculum beyond the officially declared, formally designed programmes and the delivery strategies that are enacted within lecture halls and tutorial sessions. The chapter argues that curriculum messages are being communicated in multiple ways. This includes the ways in which the institution chooses to reflect on its own organisational self, its historical legacies, it chartering of past achievements and its mapping of the challenges and prospects for the future of the institution (its historicity).
