Description

This event supports BERA’s ambitions of addressing racial inequity within the Association and the wider research community. It is important to showcase and learn from the best practices of anti-racist scholars in addressing racial injustice. Scotland is at the forefront of tackling racial injustices within educational settings. In 2021, staff and students led the “tackling racism on campus” project, in which all universities and colleges committed to embedding anti-racist practices in their institutions. In 2023, Scotland launched its first-ever anti-racism framework for initial teacher education, including guidance for initial teacher education providers and schools across Scotland. This event will allow the national and international education community, including researchers, teachers, community educators, and scholars, to hear from three scholars who have led anti-racist agendas in Scotland, focusing on research, policy and practice on anti-racism and decolonisation.
