Education is a critica l site for scrutinising and deconstructing systemic injustice. This semina r series pays particular attention to the way in which education is affect ed\, both as potential cause\, consequence and maintainer of injustices\, as well as opportunities education offers for eradicating inequities.\nThe series examines the underlying historical and political processes that dr ive and perpetuate these injustices. Particular attention is paid to the w ays in which states in the Global North cause\, and exacerbate\, such inju stices\, perpetuating the colonial legacy in diverse contexts of the Globa l South. This series explores how the unfolding genocide and long-term occ upation of Palestine highlight the inadequacy of the global system in addr essing these atrocities. It explores how the global system propped up the system of Apartheid in South Africa and how global support for human right s was key to bringing out an end to the system in 1994. Likewise\, the int ensifying turmoil in Sudan serves as a poignant illustration of the injust ices perpetuated within an inequitable global system. Deploying an interse ctional lens across diverse contexts\, this seminar series animates discus sion about key education challenges\, including violence against girls and women\, racism\, colonialism\, displacement\, and advocates for ethical a nd committed scholarship.\n \;\nMore about the series and how to regis ter for all of the seminars.\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ukfiet.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/0 1/REAL-Centre-Centre-for-Lebanese-Studies.jpg CATEGORIES:Seminar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
