In 2020, the murder of George Floyd by a police officer evoked a mass public response in the U.S. and beyond. It sparked global protests against police brutality and against racist violence. Local anti-racist movements and campaigns throughout Europe called on their communities, gathered support and worked in solidarity with #BLM groups in a wave of protests and actions. One result was to expose the invisibility of discussions of racism and racialisation in national education systems and call for educators to address these topics and conversations in the European context. In this episode Rachel and Matthijs reflect on the experience of teaching a course on the history of racism, during the peak of 2020's #BLM protests. They do so in conversation with student guest Stuart Duncan, and with contributions from other students in that class. FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Why is teaching about the history of racism so important? How do we give space to current social injustices surrounding race within the classroom? How do students feel about their educational experience of learning about racism?BONUS: Check out our additional episode to hear more voices from our students about their experience studying the history of racism during the Black Lives Matter movement.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: - Charleston Syllabus: A diverse reading resource for teachers and students to learn more about the history of racial violence with insight into global white supremacy, black resistance, and racial identities. https://www.aaihs.org/resources/charlestonsyllabus/- Classroom resources for teaching anti-racism since the Ferguson riots. https://lasalle.instructure.com/courses/3823 - The Black Curriculum: A social enterprise that aims to deliver Black history by providing a curriculum and free licensable resources for schools. https://theblackcurriculum.com/ - Utrecht University Decolonisation Group BLM Solidarity Statement: https://www.decolonisationgroup.com/post/statement-blmBrought to you by the UGlobe Decolonisation GroupHosted by Rachel Gillett and Matthijs KuipersSound by Stephan VenmansMusic by CarlosCarty (CC-BY-3.0)Production assistance from Edan Simpson and Malina Yallanki Special thanks to our student guests especially Stuart Duncan, Ruben Vogel, Jonas Schiffer, and Niamh Munglani.
