In a special episode to celebrate Black History Month we join Professor Pat Noxolo from the University of Birmingham, Professor James Esson from Queen Mary University of London and Francisca Rockey, founding member of Black Geographers.
They discuss the intersections between race, gender and class that affect young people today. Topics include how to navigate complex ideas in a complex world, the importance of recognising different narratives, and the possibilities for change, revealed by the amazing work done by geography teachers.
Anti-racist work has been a means of support, comradeship and helping keep hold of talented people. Here are a few of the groups and resources mentioned in this episode:
- Black Geographers
- Salaam Geographia
- Geography Workshop
- Race, Culture and Equality Working Group
- American Association of Geographer
- Black Geographies
- Decolonising geography website & X (formerly Twitter)
- FI WI ROAD
- Black History Month
