How is the movement for Black Lives or Black Lives Matter, how is it connected to schools, if at all, or maybe just education more broadly?

Sharon WalkerGUEST
I think that from what I see, I think there's been a much more kind of expressive application of BLM in schools in the US.

Sharon WalkerGUEST
When I look at that, when I look at what's happening there, and then I kind of ask similar questions, for example, to think, right, you know, what has been happening in the UK, for example, around Black Lives Matter in school? We haven't had that kind of similar Black Lives Matter in school movement.

Sharon WalkerGUEST
kind of activism and teaching that's very much grassroots and is kind of reaching across schools although i think particularly in the immediate aftermath of george floyd there was a lot of activity not in the sense that there wasn't any before but it kind of coalesced around that kind of 2020 experience and kind of brought to the fore many of the things that were happening And so, for example, there was kind of reports in the newspaper about not only teachers, but actually young people requesting for a different kind of curriculum.

So can you tell me sort of what are some of these generative aspects of the BLM movement?
