Nothing Without Us

No one who holds a minoritized identity wants people who don't who hold those identities to be the ones solely making decisions about how organisations and how society changes, how it's run and organised. In this show, I'll be having conversations with people who hold experiences of being minoritized. We'll be looking at stories about marginalisation, we're looking at issues about equity in the news, and exploring how your institution can and should respond.

In conversation with Dave Baker

“I suppose I want to move beyond the point of staff, being nervous and feeling they can't say stuff because they're frightened, they're not going to say the right stuff, we got to get beyond that and just start to be honest about where, where we're uncomfortable, and start to confront the uncomfortable so that we can move into a different place.” In this episode Angie talks to Dave Baker, CEO of the Olympus Academy Trust, a family of 9 schools working together within a multi-academy trust to pro...

In conversation with Bennie Kara

“I think luminary work … is a process of truth gathering, and acknowledging that there are truths that you might not be comfortable with. So you know, the questions you ask of yourself, as a teacher, for example - what are the truths of our workplace?

The Myth Of Thick Skin

Trigger warning - this podcast contains depictions of both physical and emotional torture and pain. Listener discretion is advised. Somebody asked me recently, what I thought might be different about my life, had I been born in a different skin in less brown skin? And my immediate response was, how could I possibly know? We none of us really know, do we, what the other person experiences. But the thought of not experiencing this life, as someone with brown skin has never really occurred to me, h...

In conversation with Alison Peacock

“I started talking about an alternative improvement agenda that wasn't based on blaming people, wasn't based on labelling children, it wasn't based on tracking performance. It was essentially based on on openness and questioning and inventiveness and so on, that was all about a highly inclusive way of thinking about teaching and learning.” In this episode Angie talks to Dame Alison Peacock, Chief Executive of the Chartered College of Teaching and originator of Learning Without Limits about her m...
