DESCRIPTION:This workshop responds to recent calls that universities must 
 do more to address entrenched inequalities and discriminatory practices ar
 ound race and ethnicity\, by focusing less on diversity and more on anti-r
 acist pedagogies. The day will be structured around three sessions\, which
  ask how we can develop teaching\, learning\, and research environments th
 at support all students to succeed in their studies. The opening sessions 
 will explore historical and theoretical contexts of anti-racist pedagogy i
 n Britain and will include interactive elements. In the afternoon\, we foc
 us more on current classroom practice and student experience in higher edu
 cation\, asking participants to think about not only what we teach\, but h
 ow we teach. The keynote will be given by Dr Meleisa Ono-George\, Director
  of Student Experience and Associate Professor of Caribbean History at the
  University of Warwick. The workshop is open to anyone currently teaching 
 in the university\, or informing teaching\, from postgrads to professors. 
 We will explore these questions from a range of disciplinary perspectives.
