In Conversation: How do you bring BLM into the curriculum?

In this webinar, Prof Imogen Tyler, Dr. Sunita Abraham and Geraldine Onek will share their experience working with a community group, Lancaster Black History Group, including a project working with Lancaster school students and teachers on Lancaster's historical connections to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

This conversation will highlight the potential to use historical and sociological research to create links across the curriculum, start conversations about contemporary social issues and engage students in seeing the places in which they live differently.

Imogen Tyler is a Professor of Sociology with an expertise in social inequalities. Her most recent book is Stigma: The Machinery of Inequality. Sunita Abraham is an Honorary Researcher in Sociology with an expertise in politics, poverty and development. Geraldine Onek is a Primary School Teacher.

What makes a memorable conversation? The ‘In conversation’ webinar series will explore how memorable conversations might emerge from putting together different kinds of voices – such as staff, students and teachers from different disciplines and backgrounds? We hope that the variety of themes will engage you in interesting conversations of your own? This webinar series is produced by the Sociology Department at Lancaster University, which is home to degrees in Sociology, Media and Cultural Studies and Social Work, in association with other colleagues at Lancaster University?
