Professor David Scott talks about social categories such as gender, race, dis-ability, intelligence, sexuality and class, as they are used in English education system. Knowledge of and about them and their effects is central to how we can understand society, equalities and inequalities within it, and educational relations. He will draw on events, happenings and experiences to develop a more coherent account with the potential to transform our understandings of these matters and hence our educational practices. David's lecture is drawn from his book 'Equalities & Inequalities in the English Education System, published by UCL IOE Press, 2018.
