The heart of education. Culture and childhood in Ireland and the UK. The Friday Morning Break with John Gibbs

What are schools for? Join me and my guest Professor Karl Kitching as we attempt to get to the heart of education through his writing and research. Karl is a former primary teacher and now Professor of education at Birmingham University. Karl's research and teaching focuses on challenging multiple inequalities in education, in childhood, and in young people’s lives. Karl has published a range of internationally peer-reviewed articles on young people’s experiences of racism in school, race theory in education, the sexualisation of childhood, children’s religious identities at school, teacher motivation, and critical theory and pedagogy. His latest book is Childhood, Religion and School Injustice.
