Issues and Dilemmas: 'Race' in Higher Education Teaching Practices
Abstract
British (Rampton Report 1981 & Swann Report 1985) & US studies on the interaction of schooling, race, & education are reviewed; more discussion of race & higher education has taken place in the US than in GB. The practice of teaching topics concerning race in the British social science courses is complex, due to the contested nature of race. Teaching race cannot really be addressed in full with either pluralist multiculturalist or essentialist forms of antiracist education. Using interview data from lecturers & students, possibilities for a synthesis of the two forms in GB are discussed, including issues of curriculum, the teacher's subject position, student backgrounds, & conflicts among students in the seminar room.
