Unconscious bias: Exploring race, identity and discrimination in education

Not to be missed – Jeffrey Boakye, author of Hold Tight: Black Masculinity, Millennials, and the Meaning of Grime and Black, Listed: Black British Culture Explored, joins us for a powerful and frank exploration of unconscious bias in education.

Using a mixture of analogy and real life experiences as both student and teacher, Jeffrey walks us through a brief history of racism, how that is still playing out in our education system and most importantly, what you can do about it.

This session will challenge you and inspire you to do more to address the unconscious bias in our education system, our communities and our institutions.

“It’s not enough for adults to be not racist. We need to lean into anti-racism, and every school needs to become a site of this anti-racist work.” Jeffrey Boakye

Jeffrey creates an open forum to discuss and learn without judgement.
