Britishness, Identity and Belonging in Education Social Justice in Troubling Times

Activity: Dissemination › Invited talk

Description

This presentation explores how shifting discourses of Britishness and British values affect young people in their education and are reflected in their experiences growing up in multicultural Britain, a nation grappling with the consequences of Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. We will consider the intersectional relationship among identity, citizenship, and belonging, and how the politicisation of culture and faith affects young people’s sense of Britishness and belonging, particularly through policies such as the Prevent duty. This talk will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of race and education, social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
