DRC Annual Guest Lecture
Prof Dave Gillborn - Race, Lies & Education:  the myth of White victims and the reality of racist policy

Applying a critical race theory (CRT) perspective to current debates and reforms in the US and England, the lecture critiques the operation of colour-blind policies, supposedly meant to ‘raise standards’ and ensure fairness, that systematically disadvantage minoritized groups and appeal to White racist self-interest.

David Gillborn is Professor of Critical Race Studies and Director of the Centre for Research in Race & Education (CRRE) at the University of Birmingham.
