SUMMARY:Bridges and Battlefields in Education: Reflections on embedding 'd
 iverse'\, critical\, and anti-racist approaches in schools
LOCATION:Cambridge University: Wolfson College
DESCRIPTION:The second event of this year’s 'Hierarchies of Racism?' ser
 ies\, focusing on race\, racialisation\, and racism within higher educatio
 n institutions. This session on race and education presents two practical 
 case studies from our work embedding anti-racist approaches in schools. Dr
 awing on data from an eight-year international development project (the Ac
 tionAid/SETA project) and a five-year professional development interventio
 n in UK primary schools\, the first examines how school leaders\, educator
 s and communities navigate the successes and struggles of anti-racist prac
 tice. It shows how engaging with histories of race and racism can address 
 contemporary injustices\, and how diverse national contexts galvanise a br
 oader 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 o
 n the Our Migration Story public history project\, it situates recent curr
 iculum reform initiatives within longstanding debates about the scope and 
 content of British history teaching in schools\, and the grassroots moveme
 nts advocating for broader and more inclusive historical narratives. Toget
 her\, these case studies highlight the importance of historical engagement
 \, collaborative practice\, and sustained advocacy in creating critical\, 
 equitable\, and anti-racist educational spaces. Speakers: Dr Sharon Walker
  and Dr Sundeep Lidher. Details: This event is open to all and free to att
 end. This is a hybrid event which will take place in-person in the Gatsby
