Professor Karl Kitching, Professor Reza Gholami, Dr Aslı Kandemir, Dr Md. Shajedur Rahman, School of Education, University of Birmingham. 

This event will launch the final project report for the study 'Free Expression at School? The Making of Youth Engagements with Race and Faith'. Funded by the Leverhulme Trust, this study included a survey of over 3000 Year 10 students across England, interviews with several policy stakeholders, and in-depth case studies in a variety of secondary schools.

The event will share key findings from the study on issues including the extent to which race and faith equality matters to young people; the impact of the policy and political landscape on expression on race and faith in schools; how schools differ in their support for race and faith-based expression, and policy and practice implications.
