The LCT Centre for Knowledge-Building has created a new YouTube channel and is extending its impact via video. Ranging from university lectures and keynote speeches to thoughts on the community of LCT scholars, the YouTube channel has become the guide for how to speak about Legitimation Code Theory.
Some of the most important videos are keynote speeches from LCT2, the Second International Legitimation Code Theory Conference held here at the University of Sydney in 2017. The opening keynote is from Professor Karl Maton, Director of the Centre, defined and clarified Legitimation Code Theory for a broad audience, including the underlying premise of the theory: making the invisible visible. The closing keynote from Professor Chris Winberg, of Cape Town University of Technology, South Africa uses LCT to understand the rapidly changing educational landscape and ‘knowledge-scape’ in post-apartheid South Africa.
The YouTube channel also hosts further work from scholars decolonising the curriculum in South Africa, such as Dr Hanalie Adendorff at Stellenbosch University and Dr Karin Wolff at Cape Town University of Technology.
For students and scholars at the University of Sydney, the YouTube channel also hosts the LCT component of the current interdisciplinary subjects running within the university – a useful guide and update for those involved in the subjects.
Even though the channel has been running for only a few months, it already demonstrates the transformative impact that the LCT Centre is having on educators and researchers around the world.
