ACCEPT Pluralism launch event with Michael Keith and Maleiha Malik Friday 26 November, 12.15 – 4.30, Bristol Institute of Public Affairs
ACCEPT Pluralism is a new research project, funded by the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme. It starts from the realization that in recent years there have been increasing tensions between national majorities and ethnic or religious minorities across Europe. It asks how cultural difference is debated and tolerated, respected or rejected in 15 European countries.
With this workshop we want to introduce the British component of the study and begin a conversation on British cultural diversity. We are interested in the perspectives of practitioners from various backgrounds, especially in education or local government, as well as civil society and academia.
We want to find answers to practical questions of how to tolerate and respect differences in multicultural Britain.
The following speakers join us for the workshop:
Professor Michael Keith, University of Oxford, Director of Compas; former leader of the Council in Tower Hamlets.
Professor Maleiha Malik, King’s College London; involved in advising on the scope of recent human rights and equalities legislation.
Places are limited. For more details, a full programme and to register see:
