Race and Gender Inequality in Higher and Further Educational Institutions in Britain.

How Do We Perceive Race and Gender in an Educational Institution

• Are male lecturers seen as more important than female lecturers at University?
• Do male lecturers have more power in Educational Institutions? (are there more Male heads of departments at Goldsmiths?)
• Is there gender or race prejudice in a University like Goldsmiths, who pride themselves as a forward thinking, Liberal educational Institution?
• Is there any examples of this at University? E.G. SOAS Justice for Cleaners- Campaigning against injustice or inequality within a powerful Educational Institution.

• Sexual Harassment in University. In our Western Liberal Society, do we still live in a patriarchal society where men feel they have more power or rights over women?
• Sara Ahmed Director of the Centre for Feminist Research at Goldsmiths, University of London resigned in protest over alleged sexual harassment claims by students against staff.

• The problems of race inequality, not just in Higher Education but in Further Educational Institutions e.g. Primary and Secondary Schools.
• The U.K.'s Prevent Scheme (counter-radicalisation policy.) Is it badly flawed?

• In a radio 4 programme I listened to about Prevent. One British Muslim mother, was worried about the decision her young daughter made about wanting to start wearing the Hijab because she believed her daughter would be perceived differently by her race and gender to other children in her class. The prevent scheme has stigmatised Islam as a negative religion. It has alluded all Muslims to being a potential threat. As a result, this has taken away for many children like the one above the liberal values of individuality and freedom of speech and choice which the West has advocated for, for centuries. 
• BBC Radio 4 Westminster Hour 29/01/2017 Prevent discussion start at 35:30 and the example of women and daughter is at 39:20.
