 es
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 13 May 2026\, 19:00-20:00 BST\nREGISTER HERE\nJoin So
 uth Asian Educators’ Network online to explore how South Asian heritage 
 shapes teacher identity and agency in primary education.\nSpeaker: Sakina 
 Jafri\, doctoral student\, Faculty of Education\nOne in five Londoners ide
 ntify as South Asian heritage\, yet very little research focuses on South 
 Asian heritage teachers in primary schools. This doctoral research centres
  teachers’ voices\, drawing on their experiences during recent social an
 d political tensions in the UK and globally. Teachers highlight how their 
 own journeys of feeling excluded or unseen at school now shape the way the
 y teach. They use the curriculum as a space to build belonging\, challenge
  inequity\, and help all children feel valued. Rather than avoiding differ
 ence\, their classrooms encourage curiosity\, respect\, and connection.\nT
 heir stories offer practical inspiration for teachers everywhere and highl
 ight the transformative\, agentic work they do despite ongoing barriers. T
 his work shows how everyday teaching can become a powerful way to support 
 both students and teachers\, and to imagine fairer futures in our schools.
