Overview of the WHY

Why have we decided to do our project on how Race and Gender within Educational Institutions? 

- Its an example of, once AGAIN, the inequality (that old chestnut) of anyone who's not a Middle Class white bloke. 

- I think it's important to shed more light on something that makes many people think 'Oh no not this again'. Why do they think that? Who are those people? Why do you think this is a boring/unimportant topic?

-Its an example of everyday Public Sphere racism/sexism but on a smaller more intimate scale. Because of these qualities it'll be easier to conduct research.

-To develop more on the second point; Educating people that this is happening is the first step in combating it. The more people in your arsenal the stronger your message. 

-We want to also look into roles such as 'Women's Officers' and Societies such as the 'Islamic Society' and 'Black Students Societies'. We want to know if they are making a difference (aimed more at the women's officers).

-To reform the ''What's the point?'' Thinkers. The people who believe in what we're doing is respectable and needed, but at the same time have never done anything about Educational Inequality themselves because they hold the ''Whats the point?'' Attitude. These people are led to believe that they can't make a difference, and we want to tell them THEY CAN.
