You are warmly invited to attend a free workshop at Oxford Brookes
University, bringing together secondary school teachers and university
academics to discuss how we teach and learn about cultural difference in
the current moment of global uncertainty. This is the first of two
workshops to be held in 2017 on this topic. We hope during the day to
engage in thoughtful discussion around the following questions:
- How do we teach about social identities and cultural difference?
- What tools and resources do we draw on to make sense of our own
identities and our attitudes to others?
- How do we, as teachers, address questions of race, gender, religion and
politics?
This workshop will bring together teachers and academics to talk about
addressing difficult and sensitive topics within the curriculum. The
workshop will take the form of a series of discussions led by participants,
with lunch and refreshments provided. This is an open discussion and no
previous direct engagement with anthropology is necessary to take part. A
report of the workshops will serve as an initial 'toolkit' for this
activity and will act as a starting point for future collaboration.
This event is open to academic/research colleagues, graduate students, and
secondary school teachers.
