EUniWell Social Talks: How has Black Lives Matter affected racism in education: social justice, inclusion and white privilege
All people have the right to equal treatment and to not be discriminated against because of gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or age. As questions of discrimination are central to many educational programs and relevant for many disciplines, the EUniWell Arena for Social Equality and Wellbeing launch a series of Social Talks, on the theme "Fighting discrimination in Europe". Experts from universities within EUniWell will address the grounds of discrimination and discuss anti-discrimination actions in different sectors. Lectures are open to everyone who want to learn more about how countries work against discrimination in different areas.
Lecturer: Kalwant Bhopal, professor of Education and Social Justice, University of Birmingham
