The meeting was themed around \u201cBlack History Month\u201d (BHM) in the UK, and most particularly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What BHM means for Learning Technologists (LTs) in the UK?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How LTs can get involved?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the non-White community in UK, we often distance ourselves from the problem of specific marginalised groups. Talking of BHM has helped re-instate that racism within the UK needs everyone to work hand in hand together to find suitable solutions. Nonetheless, BHM is and remains a problem where Black people&nbsp;<strong>MUST&nbsp;<\/strong>be the first to be heard, bearing in mind that the Black community remains the most marginalised and victimised group among the People of Colour (POC) community within UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While preparing the discussion slides for this session, I could not but take everyone back into history. Why so? Because we as humans tend to repeat history.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teeroumaneenadan.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/10\/arkansas-fire.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/teeroumaneenadan.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/10\/arkansas-fire.jpg?w=256\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2946\" style=\"width:541px;height:416px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Arkansas Gazette from 1959 \u2013 Fire kills 21 boys shut in dormitory at training school<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In 1959, 69&nbsp;<strong>black African American boys<\/strong>&nbsp;from ages&nbsp;<strong>13-17<\/strong>&nbsp;were locked in their dormitory (from outside) at the&nbsp;<strong>Negro Boys Industrial School<\/strong>&nbsp;in Wrightsville. A fire mysteriously ignited, with&nbsp;<strong>21 burning to death<\/strong>&nbsp;while 48 managed to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not an event from the distant past, and nor is it an event that is not relatable to 2022. I wrote in an earlier blog about&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/teeroumaneenadan.com\/2022\/02\/01\/modern-slavery-in-uk-heis\/\" target=\"_blank\">Modern Slavery in UK HEIs<\/a>&nbsp;(<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3s7gmua\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3s7gmua<\/a>) and also on a&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3s6IUUK\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Inequity<\/a>&nbsp;(<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3s6IUUK\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3s6IUUK<\/a>). While in 2022, we do not lock our Black students in the dorm and burn them alive, we nonetheless continue to expose them to the digital divide which has naturally ensued from centuries of British control in British colonies and ex-colonies; we still regularly enforce \u201cBritish projects\/platforms\u201d in the education system in Commonwealth countries. We obviously all have a choice, and we all have the responsibility to change this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does Black History month means for LT?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the pointers I used to guide the small group discussions.

Within the group discussion there seems to have been some initial questioning as to whether it should mean something to LTs and if so, what should it mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The discussion was guided by the understanding of technologies: to what level should we be aware of the technologies and platforms that we use, are we aware of their limitations, are we aware of the biases of technology, are we aware of alternatives, have we adequately explored the different technologies? Simply put, if you do not know what you do not know, it is difficult to mitigate the issues. How are different groups represented in our materials (departmental webpage, learning content, etc), how about case studies, reading list, are black authors recognised adequately for their due contribution in the sector?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, once we become aware of the issues, how do we address these? The group discussed forward planning for activities, which may include activism. Moreover, there was also discussion on equal opportunities for everyone. Although we did not specifically list the equal opportunities, these have to be present from hiring stage to the time a staff leaves\/retires from their institution. It was highlighted that the case of lack of diversity in senior positions around learning technology is particularly prominent in some regions of the UK more than others, and Scottish institutions seem to have the same struggle. You may find some answers here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WEgHTk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Equity analysis of 6 LT job blurbs<\/a>&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WEgHTk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WEgHTk<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One, rather not surprising, argument made, was the difference between the US and UK in terms of anti-blackness, and openness around challenges of Black people within the educational sector. The UK inadvertently uses softer tone and language, thus lessening the racism issue around Black people in general in the UK, an issue, that of course is naturally transcended within the educational sector and even among LTs. I often refer to the change in mindset, you may find materials and video on this blog useful&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3zJTe9h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Changing mindset to reduce discrimination at work<\/a>&nbsp;(<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3zJTe9h\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3zJTe9h<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While looking at solutions, the institutional solution to digital divide during the pandemic was discussed. We are all aware of how universities started to loan laptops to students, However, is this the strategy to be taken when we are looking at the already marginalised group? Should we be loaning or should we be providing? Are we having our priorities right \u2013 should we re-prioritise where institutional money and resources go? This is perhaps something that is beyond the hands of LTs, but more for Senior Leadership Teams to discuss and act on; however, this does not prevent LTs in starting the discussion and influencing their teams and HODs into the right direction for tackling racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question now is&nbsp;<strong>what committment are you going to make to decrease racism in your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Further Reading<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My presentation slides on BHM available at:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3J0rEJh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3J0rEJh<\/a>\u00a0(Edited version)\u00a0<br><br><em>This post was originally published <a href=\"https:\/\/teeroumaneenadan.com\/author\/teeroumaneenadan\/\">here<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"info\"> Did you enjoy reading this?
