SUMMARY:A Black Man Stuck in a White Education System
DESCRIPTION:10 October\, 13:00-14:30\nREGISTER HERE\nJoin The Centre for In
 ternational Education at the University of Sussex for the following book l
 aunch:\nA Black Man Stuck in a White Education System: An Autoethnography 
 of a Black British English Teacher in the British Education System \nby B
 hishma Asare \nLocation: Fulton 104\, Sussex Campus / Zoom Webinar \nThe
  British Education system has been deemed more puissant than other educati
 on systems and has been the epitome for students in the United Kingdom to 
 succeed. However\, there are many hidden problems in the British education
  system surrounding race and gender. This research covers through autoethn
 ographic methodology the experiences of a Black male student transitioning
  into an English teacher in a UK based school. The book not only takes the
  form of autoethnography\, it also explores current students’ thoughts a
 nd opinions including rap music as a racialised format and how music helpe
 d them through their studies. This book highlights the fact that there are
  not enough Black male teachers or Black male scholars in academia and how
  a shift in this setup would help shape education to be a safer and better
  place for all.\nAbout the author:\n"Hi\, my name is Bhishma Asare\, and I
  am an English teacher who works within the UK education system. I hold a 
 master’s degree in English Education\, which was completed at The Instit
 ute of Education\, University College London. I have worked in education f
 or a number of years\, starting out as a Teaching Assistant\, progressing 
 to a cover supervisor. It was after cover supervision that I decided to em
 bark on a PGCE to become a fully qualified English teacher\, winning a cer
 tificate of achievement from Pearsons National Teaching Award for the Outs
 tanding New Teacher of the Year in my NQT year\, later progressing to a mi
 ddle leader. Although embedded in education as an English Teacher\, I run 
 an organisation called Rap Therapy\, whereby the focus is merging English 
 language and structural devices with rap to strengthen the mental health o
 f young people through the promotion of positive expression. To date\, Rap
  Therapy has worked with over 9000 young people."\nThis event will be chai
