Our next CR&DALL event on 23rd May from 1200-1400 is entitled ‘Becoming an academic: intersections of gender, class, and race’ with presentations by Prof Marie-Pierre Moreau, Anglia Ruskin University, Dr Kate Hoskins, Brunel University and Dr Ellen McHugh, Brunel University.

I just wanted to remind you that Leeds Trinity University invite you to their free third Race, Equity and Social Justice: Decoloniality of the Academy Conference on Thursday 24th March, between 09:00 and 16:15 via Microsoft Teams.

There is an urgent need to address the structural and everyday racism that exists in education systems across the world. Black, Indigenous and minority ethnic children are being systematically failed by schooling systems. Curriculum often fails to represent and affirm the diversity of language and culture. School practices can reproduce rather than challenge racial hierarchies. The inequitable financing and marketisation of school systems entrench racialised segregation and exclusion.

We are saddened that the present AEQ editors, Ellen Boeren, Kevin Roessger,and Liz Roumell will be stepping down at the end of their term. We extend our deep thanks for the wonderful job they have done with the journal. We are now looking for the next set of editors.
