Event overview
Farzana Shain is a Senior Lecturer in School of Public Policy and Professional Practice at Keele University. She worked for a brief period as a coordinator for victim support in Camden.
In education policies, ‘race’ has been an ‘absent presence’ (Apple 1999). However, through national preoccupations with ‘segregation’ following the inner city disturbances in northern towns in 2001, and global preoccupations with ‘security’, expressed through the ‘War on Terror’ , ‘race’ has continued to play a significant part, albeit coded through community (Worley 2004), in the manufacture of consent for state policies in education, immigration, welfare reform and foreign policy. The ‘War on Terror’ has had profound implications for Muslims and migrants in particular but has also had significant educational implications that need to be explored. Drawing on interviews with school boys aged 12-18, this seminar sets out to some of the educational implications of the ‘War on Terror’.
Dr Shain has written on issues of management and leadership in the Further education sector. More recently her work has focused on youth identities and inequalities. She is the author of “The schooling and Identity of Asian Girls” (2003: Trentham) and “The New Folk Devils: Muslim Boys and Education in England”, forthcoming, also with Trentham.
This seminar is sponsored by the Identity and Social Justice Research Group of the Department of Educational Studies
