I am a Head of Religious Studies at a Secondary School in Rochdale. I also lead the Rochdale RE Teacher Hub and am a teacher representative on the Rochdale SACRE.
As a teacher I have had pupils mention in lesson far-right extremist group’s activities or far-right extremist narratives they had encountered in their local communities and online. My PhD research reflects on how RE teachers might best respond to this. It considers moral education, identity (specifically white British working class), curriculum design and development, and cross-curricular contributions to preventing radicalisation and violent extremism.
