Reflecting on Racism and Race Equality in Scottish Education
Date: Tuesday 18th May 2021, 4pm – 5.30pm
Abstract
Race and racism is a central issue in our society and schools. In this webinar, we are focusing on the identities of BME teachers, students’ experiences and the curriculum. Drawing upon some findings from research activities, the presenters will discuss key ideas on race equality and antiracist education and they will consider some of the implications of these for policy, research and practice.
