Rachel Webley, English Lecturer, Teaching and Learning Coach at Birmingham Metropolitan College and Senior Examiner for GCSE Literature, talks about how to build an anti-racism curriculum.

In the podcast, Rachel reflects on her experiences growing up as a mixed heritage individual and the lack of representation of Black authors and history in her early education. She discusses how this absence impacted her understanding of identity and culture until her further education. As an English teacher, Rachel is committed to exposing her students to inspiring figures from various backgrounds, helping them to better understand themselves and their peers. She emphasises the importance of integrating EDI into everyday learning, encouraging students to appreciate diversity and incorporate these lessons into their lives beyond the classroom.
