Malcolm Richards: A rigid refusal to look at ourselves? Funds of resistance, progressive teaching and 'Black' digital resources for dialogue in United Kingdom (UK) schools

This research project examines how teachers relate their own 'funds of knowledge' of ‘Black’ identities and cultural community domains, to mediate digital resources used to facilitate critical dialogue within UK primary and secondary schools. The results from this study will inform the author’s PhD study (to be submitted in 2023). Malcolm is supervised by Dr Judith Kleine Staarman and Dr Alexandra Allan.
