Abstract

This paper discusses research literature, current projects and selected historical antecedents for an area-based curriculum in order to tease out the possibilities and tensions inherent in such an aspiration. In so doing, it aims to prepare educators and community partners for the obstacles they might face in creating such a curriculum and to describe some of the related initiatives and research that might act as a resource for those embarking on such an endeavour.
