What does it mean to learn while navigating race, identity, and belonging? In this striking collection, students from UCL IOE's Sociology of Race and Education course--led by Dr Victoria Showunmi--share autobiographical essays exploring assimilation, colourism, passing, cultural appropriation, and double consciousness.

With storytelling at its heart, and guided by theories like Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality, and Whiteness Studies, these essays reveal how education shapes racial identity across time and place. This volume invites leaders, educators, students or curious readers to reflect, question, and engage with the lived realities of racialised education.

Section Editors are: Jill Geary, Sharon Gyimah, Stephen Hancock, Hannah Lynn, Elodie Mayo, Beatriz Ramirez, Victoria Showunmi, Julia Spence-Duclos, and Michah Wyatt.

Victoria Showunmi is Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies in Gender, Race and Identity at UCL IOE. Her interests are gender, identity, and race through the lens of Intersectionality focusing on leadership and the lived experience of Black women and girls. She develops fresh conceptual frameworks focusing on equity and social justice, especially the interplay between people and the sophistication of behaviours which lead to disengagement with the promotion of equality. Her work shows how culture and cultural background have the potential to disrupt power structures and lead to transformational change.
