Facilitating Conversations on Race and Difference 

Talking about race and difference can be difficult and it is often the reasons why people avoid engaging in such discussions. However, our society has become increasingly diverse and interconnected. For us to fully appreciate and celebrate our differences we need to talk, listen, learn, reflect and take action.

 

This workshop is designed to equip staff with the skills to plan, embed and conduct conversations on race and difference in the classroom whilst ensuring that they are maintaining a safe learning environment. Additionally, this workshop will equip staff with the confidence to talk about race and difference with colleagues. This will help create an inclusive working environment, improve working relationships and moral.

Exploring Race, Identity and Difference 

Exploring who we are and what makes us who we are is complex and too often we explore our identities in silos. However, it is important that we recognise that we are all individual, formed from multiple identities. Understanding and navigating that complexity is critical to understanding how to create an inclusive environment.

 

During this workshop you will have the opportunity to engage in frank and open discussions on race, racism and difference. Participants will reflect on their own race and identities, inequalities, privilege and recognise the benefits of embracing difference.

Decolonising and Diversifying the Curriculum

To decolonise the curriculum goes far beyond the reading list. It requires a critical evaluation of self, the learning environment, what you teach and how you teach it. It requires the dismantling of assumptions and the inclusion of diverse perspectives that reflects the student body and the wider society. The careful design of the curriculum can provide learners with opportunities to broaden their knowledge, become culturally aware and appreciate diversity. Furthermore, decolonising and diversifying the curriculum can improve the attainment and the experiences of learners.

 

The workshop will allow participants to explore the contents of their programme/course materials and develop pedagogical approaches to break down barriers to learning and provides opportunities for diverse voices and experiences to be heard.
