The Race and Inclusivity in Global Education Network (RIGEN) brings together members with an interest in race, cultural inclusivity, internationalisation, and decoloniality in education. Our research spans national and international as well as formal and informal educational contexts, and our members’ work ranges from the early years to higher education.
The RIGEN blogs are intended to raise issues relating to promoting race equality, inclusivity, and anti-racism within education in general. Blogs may present issues arising from research or may be a commentary that an individual with a commitment to race, anti-racism and inclusivity in education may wish to offer. Contributions can discuss examples of improving practice or raise discussions about conundrums or discomforts. The aim of the blogs is to open up discussion, and to provide spaces for disruption and transformation. The blogs are aimed primarily at engaging with the issues, rather than reporting solely on research or practice. As our audience is much wider than academia, the blogs are intended to be written and presented in a way that is accessible to a wide range of readers.
