Research contribution- on positionality and inclusion
Okunwaye, I. (2023) “Referencing Positionality And Utilising Qualitative Analysis To Scrutinise Inclusivity In Educational Policy” 13(7) IJSRP 88
“Effectively recognising multiculturalism strategy requires also factoring societal attitudes and the students’ experiences, and developing curriculums which considers this, and creates living support structures in campuses, and guideline that meets these needs. But also allow for these multi-layered meeting points, interactions, learning engagements, as it all enriches development and experience, and could create the framework for mutual trust overtime. The teacher’s multicultural habitus too can be valuable for engagement in a multicultural space.”
Interaction on rights developments in UK
What would the implications be for individuals, State actors, organisations, regional block (ECHR)? To what extent is a new single legislation needed to harmonise a range and web of complex legal system existing already on human rights? Should we envisage an enlargement of the scope to cater for individual needs beyond actions against public authorities? Again, its specific relevance to the individual rights in education, justice arrangement, processes within UK court jurisprudence, legality of campaign activities etc can be inferred.

“Questions about how or whether to reform human rights law continues to be a source of political and legal controversy. The Government has now withdrawn the Bill of Rights Bill, which was to have replaced the Human Rights Act 1998. It remains to be seen whether new legislation will be brought forward in its place, and what shape such legislation will take, including in relation to difficult questions about immigration and asylum. Possible changes to domestic human rights law are connected also to the merits of membership of the European Convention on Human Rights, which remain hotly disputed, not least in light of the European Court of Human Rights’s recent intervention in relation to deportation of asylum seekers to Rwanda. This panel event will discuss the case for human rights law reform and the obstacles to and practicalities of reform, taking into account domestic legislation, international law, and related parliamentary dynamics. Speakers Include: Rt Hon Brandon Lewis CBE MP, Secretary of State for Justice, Lord High Chancellor Simon Murray, Barrister Rt Hon Lord Faulks KC, Chairman, Independent Press Standards Organisation Richard Ekins, Head of Judicial Power Project, Policy Exchange Lord Godson, Director, Policy Exchange (Chair)” October 2, 2022 CPC Birmingham UK
