Reading group: Racism and education
The Center for Cultural Sociology (CCS) engages in questions around the diverse living conditions for children and young people, inclusion and exclusions, and how such processes affect children's and young people's opportunities in the educational system and society at large.
The center organizes a reading group to deepen the understanding of these issues in our research and educational practices. We invite everyone who works with training future teachers or has an interest in the above questions or in education in general at Linnaeus University. Our theme is racism and education, and we will deal with schools, pre-schools, as well as higher education.
The seminars can be thought of as an opportunity to access new research but also to discuss and exchange experiences with colleagues. We will address questions such as the relevance of our research / educational practices, the relevance of the world of schooling or education, useful perspectives and consequences from the article, and where do we go from here?
On the 10 of November, we will discuss Matton's and Johansson's on how teachers handle and normalise racism in schools. The article is available open access. Mattsson, C., Andreasson, J., & Johansson, T. (2024). Into that whiteness–how explicit racism is excused by teachers’ colour-blind antiracism. Whiteness and Education, 1-17.
The seminar is held via zoom between 15.00 - 16.30. Please contact asa.trulsson@lnu.se for the link and more information.
