In this session, we explore how the idea of reparation can help address the injustices of education systems, in particular the legacies of eugenics in universities such as UCL.
The idea of reparation requires us to understand the interconnections between past, present, and future in both the formation of injustice and its repair.
It implies that until injustices are actively addressed they can endure in social institutions – such as universities – which also shape lives-to-come.
This workshop will discuss, material, epistemicand pedagogic dimensions of reparation to create a more just future of education.
