BA in Education Taster Lecture Series - 'Metaphors of Schooling'

The BA in Education is a rich, varied and fascinating study of humanity. It intersects with a wide range of subjects such as drama, history, philosophy, sociology, economics, politics, English, and more. Students on our course consider a multitude of pertinent questions around social justice, inequality, technology, the role of institutions, and how all of these impact the human experience of learning.

The Faculty of Education is hosting a series of taster lectures for potential students to get a flavour of the breadth and variety of the degree.  

Metaphors of Schooling  

This lecture will be delivered by Tyler Denmead. His scholarship examines how education maintains and contests 'race' and racism as a global system of power, particularly through arts and humanities education. He prides himself as a teacher who builds meaningful and transformative learning communities with students. His core values centre on mutual respect, collaboration, and the pursuit of knowledge that challenges social inequities.  

He has also won several teaching awards, including: 'the best doctoral supervisor' in the UK (2023); the University of Cambridge's 'best lecturer' (2019); and, was the recipient of the Cambridge Faculty of Education's Teaching Award (2024). the University of Cambridge Student Union recognised me with a 'Student Partnership and Empowerment Award' (2023).
