SHARE Sheffield Anti-Racist Education Conference

Join SHARE for their conference, "Revealing hidden histories and geographies of empire: what demands should we make of our education system?

History and geography curricula in England have been found lacking by ‘forgetting’ and misrepresenting the British Empire, offering racialised and colonial framings of the world. At the same time the right, whilst celebrating a version of British history that denies imperial racism and terror, attempts to construct a racist backlash by feeding the media with disinformation about the past to legitimise contemporary structural racism.

Speakers include Abtisam Mohamed – MP for Sheffield Central, Alan Lester – Professor of Historical Georgraphy, University of Sussex, Iram Sammar - PhD student Kings College London and founder of Salaam Geographia, Sheffield Museums, Roots & Futures and Sheffield Anti-Racist Education.
