The second event of this year’s 'Hierarchies of Racism?' series, focusing on race, racialisation, and racism within higher education institutions. This session on race and education presents two practical case studies from our work embedding anti-racist approaches in schools. Drawing on data from an eight-year international development project (the ActionAid/SETA project) and a five-year professional development intervention in UK primary schools, the first examines how school leaders, educators and communities navigate the successes and struggles of anti-racist practice. It shows how engaging with histories of race and racism can address contemporary injustices, and how diverse national contexts galvanise a broader international effort toward racial justice in education. The second case study reflects on a decade of work supporting the teaching of British histories of migration and empire in English secondary schools. Drawing on the Our Migration Story public history project, it situates recent curriculum reform initiatives within longstanding debates about the scope and content of British history teaching in schools, and the grassroots movements advocating for broader and more inclusive historical narratives. Together, these case studies highlight the importance of historical engagement, collaborative practice, and sustained advocacy in creating critical, equitable, and anti-racist educational spaces.
