Meeting Description:	Racism and Anti-Racism through Education and Community Practice: An International Exchange 26-28 June 2013 Centre for Education for Racial Equality in Scotland, University of Edinburgh, UK This international conference aims to put ‘race’ back on the agenda in education and community theory and practice. Over recent years, practitioners and academics interested in the operations of ‘race’, racism and anti-racism have had to negotiate various disabling discourses in policy, politics and practice. From the backlash against 'failed' multiculturalism in Europe, to the marginalisation of ‘race’ in inclusive education to a shift in preference for discussing culture and ethnicity rather than racism, it seems that ‘race’ and ‘challenging racism’ has been silenced from broader discussions about educational inclusion and social justice. This conference aims to bring together academics, policy makers and practitioners from around the globe to critically debate and share practice experiences about ‘race’, racism and anti-racism in different national contexts. Keynote Speakers: Wednesday, 26 June Gary Younge, Columnist for The Guardian and The Nation Thursday, 27 June Professor David Gillborn, Institute of Education, University of London, UK Friday, 28 June Professor Philomena Essed, Antioch University, USA Professor Geri Smyth, University of Strathclyde, UK Registration Fees: £225 for three-day conference delegate, includes evening drinks reception on 26 June, lunch and refreshments £150 for day delegate, includes lunch and refreshments Please note that delegates are responsible for organising their own accommodation.
