Bringing together members of the EdJAM team, Advisory Board and esteemed guests, these events explore the key concepts on which EdJAM is based, the connections between them and the possibilities for teaching and learning about violence and injustice that they open.Event #1 EDUCATION: Dr. Tania Saeed hosts a conversation with Professors Arathi Sriprakash and Keri Facer. Chaired by Dr. Julia Paulson.Education is sometimes framed as the only way to overcome past injustices and their legacies in the present.
