Izzy Wood, Geography and Environmental Science Lead at HSDC Alton, discusses the challenges and strategies she employs to integrate EDI into her curriculum.

In the podcast, Izzy emphasises the interconnectedness of history and geography, noting that understanding both is essential for addressing contemporary issues. Izzy shares her experience of teaching students about racism as a foundational step before introducing concepts of anti-racism. She draws from her own experiences and her students' perspectives to create a more inclusive learning environment, aiming to broaden their understanding of diverse cultures and social justice issues, decolonising the curriculum.
