Lecture Series: Understanding the Past. Teaching in the Present.

As future teachers, we don't just teach subjects. We teach in classrooms shaped by
different histories, identities, languages, experiences and knowledges. Yet the historical
legacies that shape education are not always visible or openly discussed.

Each 90-minute online session combines input and opportunities to discuss with
international students from Belgrade, Berlin, Cape Town, London, Stellenbosch and
Vienna.
