This chapter explores how educators can use ethical education pedagogies as springboards to begin conversations with children about identity, inclusion, prejudice, discrimination and racism. Racism is a pressing social justice issue with a clear moral dimension linked to how we relate to others, a key focus of ethical education (EE). This chapter explores the synergies between EE and social justice education (SJE). It critically engages with racism and its various manifestations. Drawing on pedagogies from EE, it outlines how educators can help children to develop positive attitudes towards difference and become more ethical, rigorous and critical in their thinking, decision-making and actions. It concludes with exemplars that employ EE pedagogies to explore issues of identity, difference, racial-ethnic stereotyping, individual and institutional racism. |
