- Description
- Sharp provides an analysis of high school students’ perspectives on representations of Australia’s involvement in the Gallipoli campaign of World War I (WWI), with an emphasis on what they consider to be missing from a selection of mainstream sources. Sharp analyzes the data framed within Peter Seixas’ three History teaching approaches—collective memory, disciplinary, and postmodern. Of interest is whether students reflect common public discourses of the Gallipoli campaign which often mythologize Australia’s participation, approach it from an historian disciplinary specific, or if they incorporate an understanding of the multifaceted nature of this event, through a postmodern understanding of global contexts. Finally, an argument is provided for a world history approach for nationally sensitive and traumatic events especially when the topic is internationally significant.
