 Seeing Black: How to build anti-racism into teaching English publications In recent years, much has been done to increase diversity in publications. However, research shows that the use of what are considered diverse images can still perpetuate oppressive narratives. While race as a social concept has existed for centuries, little is said of race in the arena of TEFL. This webinar centres race and the representation of Black people in particular. Join us on 5 May for this webinar looking at race in teaching English materials. |
