Author Description

Doing Diversity was a three year, multi-method programme of research involving work in 12 diverse profile schools in Melbourne, Victoria, that examined the facilitators and impediments to the intercultural capabilities described in the Victorian and Australian curricula for students and schools. Multiple forms of data were collected on multiple occasions. These included an Intercultural Capabilities Quiz for students, an Intercultural Capabilities Teacher Survey, interviews with principals and ICCs, focus groups with teachers and with students, observations of school operations, events and activities, analysis of school websites, artefacts and use of space, and annual, individual interviews with students.
