Abstract

The project “LED-EAR – Development Education and Antiracism Lab: possibilities, challenges, and effects” aims to explore challenges, possibilities, and effects of the articulation between development and global citizenship education (DGCE) and racism/anti-racism, through an intervention-research aimed at the universities of the UNorte.pt consortium (Porto, Minho, Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro).
The proposal aims to increase research, empirical knowledge and pedagogical spaces offering the articulation between DGCE and (anti-)racism in higher education. Its main results will be: i) the creation of DGCE spaces that promote reflection and specialized, sustained and critical learning around issues of racism and anti-racism (Cycle of seminars, aimed at the community in general, and DGCE & Racism Laboratory, aimed at higher education teachers); ii) the understanding of representations about the challenges, possibilities and effects of intervention in DGCE in its articulation with the specific theme of racism and anti-racism; and iii) the production of recommendations in terms of policies, practices and research on the theme of the proposal.
