Race, Disability & Education: Law's Uphill Battle - Leslie Thomas KC


Listen Later

This lecture traces the history of race and disability law in the English education system. It examines the impact of discriminatory policies on Black children, children of colour, and disabled children, and how narratives around race and disability have changed.

The lecture questions why inequality persists and explores possible solutions.


This lecture was recorded by Leslie Thomas KC on 23rd May 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London
