This book is the result of a 10 year friendship & a 7 year collaboration. Karen Sands-O'Connor and I met at a conference at UCL convened by Dr Nathaniel Adam Tobias C———. We've since worked together on the #ReflectingRealities steering group, the Carnegie Diversity Review, and our Books for Keeps column.
My writing partnership with Darren Chetty has been the longest and most sustained of my academic career—and I have learned so much from him! I’m so grateful to Dr Nathaniel Adam Tobias C——— for introducing us!
Delighted that Karen Sands-O'Connor will continue our Books for Keeps column for an eighth year. Next one looks at books featuring children of colour in care / alternative family situations. Fostering, adoption, care homes for example. Please share suggestions! Thx
Darren Chetty Farrah Serroukh English & Media Ctr Karen Sands-O'Connor Late seeing this, as barely managed to get in social media. But a belated massive congratulations!!
Zoe Enser 🐉 Stephanie Keenan In answer to the question you ask, whose curriculum is it? Currently it’s the 96% female white middle class curriculum of the teachers that teach it. However, this does not reflect the race, class and gender of student populations, nor the global world we prepare kids for.
As 2024 draws to a close & 2025 approaches, we're taking a look back. We've reviewed hundreds of new #ChildrensBooks, interviewed authors & illustrators, published articles, comment pieces & more and it's all there for you to enjoy with one click! #kidlit booksforkeeps.co.uk/past-issues/
