About the blog

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 wishes 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 series builds on the work of CERES blogs, which can all be accessed at the link below.
