Kehinde Andrews (Birmingham City University) Masterclass and Lecture
This workshop/masterclass aims to kickstart a campus-wide conversation on how best the University can support and value its diverse student body by focusing attention on questions of race and racism in higher education. How might Maynooth’s curriculum best reflect the interests and talents of its student body? How might teachers on campus better engage with the specificities of experience and knowledge that shape student capacities, whether through the content of modules or the style of instruction? How might teachers better understand and address the kinds of inequality and dynamics of discrimination that impinge upon student success?

His first book was Resisting Racism: Race, Inequality and the Black Supplementary School Movement (2013).
