Reflecting on difference: an intervention at a public high school in post-apartheid South Africa - Jacqui Dornbrack

This paper describes an intervention conducted with a core group of teachers at an ex-model C high school in the Eastern Cape. The six teachers from various disciplines met weekly over a period of eighteen months with the researcher to discuss various aspects of diversity. One of the outcomes of these focus group meetings was that teachers began to reflect critically on how fixed, totalising forms of representaton offer restricted understandings of people which may lead to discrimination and unfair practices.
