Abstract

This chapter encourages teachers to firstly interrogate their own mindset and consider their attitudes towards discrimination and prejudice by using a typology which outlines a variety of stances, including critical pro-active multiculturalist, inverted multiculturalist, dominant colonial multiculturalists, colour-blind tolerant multiculturalists and monoculturalists. There is an unpacking of terms such as intersectionality, anti-racism, white allyship, white saviourism, unconscious bias, advocacy, bystander and change maker. Current teachers discuss how to plan lessons which promote anti-racism, gender equality, raise awareness of LGBTQ+ issues and challenge antisemitic and other discriminatory attitudes. Strategies include recall activity, Cumbria Virtual Voices in RE project; thinking together in science and RE; availability bias; leading anti-racist CPD (continuing professional development); Black protest and Black Liberation Theology; community building work; institutional body language; parental collaboration; and African folklore.
