Examining Race and Wellbeing in the Workplace with Professor Binna Kandola
On-Demand
Virtual
How can we combat bias in the workplace and support the wellbeing of minority groups?
As many organisations, including schools, grapple with this question, it is important to acknowledge and address the impact that discrimination and micro-incivilities have on minority groups in the workplace. Professor Binna Kandola OBE, author of the new book Free to Soar, Race and Wellbeing in Organisations, discusses how being on the receiving end of racist behaviour, and feeling unable to voice concerns with confidence affect the wellbeing of minority groups, and outlines what we can do to ensure all employees feel included, supported and valued.

Remembering Our Past: Reflecting on How We Teach History
On-Demand
Virtual
Remembrance Day provides us with an opportunity to memorialise and honour those who have died in conflict from World War One to the present day. It is important to create space to reflect on past conflict so that we can learn from our mistakes and acknowledge their cost to humanity, as Rudyard Kipling’s oft-adopted phrase ‘lest we forget’ reminds us. It is also important to provide time and space to reflect on how we teach history, exploring who, what and how we choose to remember. This not only enables us to consider different voices and stories, but also helps us to think about the lessons that we can learn from our past. Explore how we can engage with our history, reflecting on how and who we choose to remember, and how we can make the lessons of history feel relevant today.

Teaching Black History Month (UK)
On-Demand
Virtual
Throughout 2021, racism has continued to dominate the headlines, from the release of the government’s contentious Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities report to the violent abuse directed at England’s young footballers during Euro 2020. Whilst the roots of such racism are complex, the white-washing of British history has no doubt played a role in allowing racist views of difference and belonging to persist.
With black history having been silenced or sidelined in the curriculum, Black History Month offers us an important opportunity to expand our understanding of Black history, commit to new ways of learning and teaching it, and support our students in making connections between the past and present.
This one-hour webinar explores how we should engage with Black History Month in a way that acknowledges and celebrates black British history as British history.
