"Culturally Responsive Pedagogies: Diversity, Exclusion, Colonialism" on November 12th 2018 from 4.30-7pm in Renehan Hall, Maynooth University.
Professor Lester-Irabinna Rigney (Distinguished Fellow, Kings College London and University of South Australia, Professor Rob Hattam (University of South Australia) and Dr Jacqueline D'Warte (Western Sydney University) will discuss the question of culturally responsive and culturally sustaining pedagogies in the context of colonial legacies, myths of terra nullius and ongoing refusals to acknowledge the most ancient cultures on the planet. The approaches, ideas and practices proposed by these thinkers will allow us to reflect more broadly on the question of 'inclusive education', interrogate presuppositions about citizenship, explore the potentials of strengths-based approaches to cultural diversity and multi-lingualism, and face the difficulty of navigating the enduring legacies of colonialism and racism.
This will be of interest to a wide-ranging audience from university academics and students to teachers and policymakers.
