Understanding Bias, Privilege, Racism and Allyship Through an AFL Lens

In this thought-provoking unit, students will explore important social issues such as bias, privilege, stereotypes, and racism within the context of the AFL and AFLW. Through collaboration with Collingwood Football Club, students will analyse real-world examples, including the club's Do Better report, to understand how language influences perceptions of individuals and groups in sport.

By critically engaging with these themes, students will develop the tools to challenge bias, recognise privilege, and use inclusive language to support a more equitable and respectful community. This unit will also help students explore their role in creating an inclusive society, particularly through the lens of allyship.
