New external examiner for MA in Community Education, Equality and Social Activism

Monday, April 11, 2016 - 14:15

As part of rethinking and relaunching the MA in Community Education, Equality and Social Activism, the Dept. is delighted to announce that Ian Manborde of Ruskin College Oxford has agreed to act as our new external examiner. Ian brings a long background both in social movements and in popular education to the role, having started out as a trade unionist  in the 1980s and worked in workers’ and TU education for over twenty years. He directs Ruskin’s MA in Global Labour and Social Change, one of a small number of sister courses to the MA CEESA which combine academic rigour with an orientation to students who are experienced practitioners in social movements. Ruskin College has historically strong relationships with trade union movements across the UK, EU and internationally, and Ian recently took part in a Dublin event co-organised by CEESA and Unite, “What education do union organisers and other activists need?” We look forward to working with Ian as we relaunch the course for Sept 2016 entry.
