Professor Ann Phoenix: "Being #gay is just part of life. We need to disrupt #homophobic name calling and teasing. Teachers need to talk with boys about the place of name calling and joking – if that's the major way of how boys communicate, it reproduces #inequalities. #JustEd2018
The #Nordic countries are pioneers of #equality, but many pupils are still subjected to discrimination based on #gender, sexual orientation, social class, #ethnicity, language or #disability. Check out this interview with JustEd's Gunilla Holm: https://t.co/cHUY8b1LkQ #JustEd2018
How can #homophobia be diminished in schools and classrooms? Should education of #gender and #sexuality be part of the official curriculum? How should gender and sexuality be framed in teaching? #JustEd2018
On day 2 of the #JustEd2018 conference, keynote speakers Ann Phoenix (England) and Dennis Francis (South Africa) presented current research
on #gender and #sexuality in #education. How do teachers and kids talk about gender and sexuality?
Market-oriented competition and simplified understandings of diversity threaten the educational justice & equity in Nordic countries today. #justED2018
#JustEd2018 Keynote speaker Nihad Bunar raised questions on how to provide #inclusiveeducation opportunities for newly arrived refugee students, while keynote speaker Piia Seppänen focused on the effect of school choice policies in Finland.
Professor Joron Pihl: If profit and market mechanisms drive the development of #education and the pupil is viewed only as future labor force, we forget that education is a common good. We reduce the child to a future competitor in the market. #JustEd2018
#JustEd2018 Professor NihadBunar on #exclusion versus #inclusion of immigrant students: “Refugee-only schools or separate classes create false safe havens for #immigrants."
