SoGE@Meeting Minds Global 2021: Anti-racism and geography education

What might it mean to ‘decolonise’ geography teaching in English schools and why might anti-racist and decolonial pedagogies and content be central to such a project? In this talk, our speakers Dr Amber Murrey and Dr Steve Puttick discuss their findings from an analysis of national curriculum documents and examination specifications, which demonstrate a striking absence of content looking at race and racism in geography schooling. Yet, leading pedagogical approaches like powerful knowledge and cultural literacy both show the need for school geography to be informed by a more expansive understanding of the discipline as well as the urgent need for anti-racist geographies. Amber and Steve conclude by reflecting on anti-racist curriculum futures in England. Dr Amber Murrey is Associate Professor of Human Geography, School of Geography and the Environment, and Tutorial Fellow at Mansfield College, University of Oxford. Dr. Steve Puttick is Associate Professor of Teacher Education, Department of Education, and Fellow at St Anne’s College, University of Oxford.
