  • Educating Young People on Islamophobia
    Resource for Educators Resource FAITH IN US Educating young people on Islamophobia Faith in Us: Educating Young People about Islamophobia Introduction This resource has been designed for both primary and secondary teachers for use in the classroom to work with young people and educate about Islamophobia. The resource provides background information outlining the reality and impact of Islamophobia on both young people and wider society; starting points to help educators to ensure that they are creating the right environment for the work to take place; and activities for educators to run with young people. The activities have been developed in partnership with young people and tested in classrooms throughout the UK. The resource also provides guidance as to the steps that schools can take to help young people report incidences of Islamophobia and respond appropriately to both perpetrators and targets, in order to create settings where all young people feel safe and able to achieve. The aims of this resource are to: • Outline the moral and statutory duties on schools to engage in work on Islamophobia • Share good practice approaches and activities to educate young people about Islamophobia • Support schools to respond effectively to incidents of Islamophobia • Provide links to further sources of information and support This resource is not intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the religion of Islam. There are many good resources and organisations which provide this in line with the RE curriculum. We have provided links to some of these at the end of the resource. This resource was produced in partnership with young people in Tower Hamlets as part of EqualiTeach’s Agents for Change: Islamophobia programme which ran from October 2017- May 2018 and was funded by the Home Office Hate Crime Communities Project Fund.

  • How Hollywood Casting Directors' Performances Of
    1 Tiffany Matzas 5/15/2019 MMUF Final Essay Working Hard in Hollywood: How Hollywood Casting Directors’ Performances of Gatekeeping Invest in Whiteness Following the “Oscars So White” controversies of 2015 and 2016, film and television casting has become increasingly exposed to public scrutiny. Consider the backlash when a press release revealed that Ghost in the Shell had cast Scarlett Johansson, a white actress, to play the role of an Asian character.1 Or the social media outrage when the creators of Crazy Rich Asians and To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before revealed that multiple studios insisted on restricting the casting of main characters of color to white actors.2 These responses are indicative both of the ways in which casting has become an especially contentious arena for the success of a film and of the ways in which casting remains relatively conservative in its insistence on centering whiteness on-screen. Casting in film and television is an especially critical moment for understanding Hollywood’s relationship to race. It is where decisions are made about the aesthetics of the final product. Decisions centering whiteness from producers, directors, writers, and studios are often obscured in the final product, but casting decisions are one place where race in Hollywood is rendered hypervisible. 1 Eliza Berman, “A Comprehensive Guide to the Ghost in the Shell Controversy,” Time, March 29, 2017, http://time.com/4714367/ghost-in-the-shell-controversy-scarlett-johansson/. 2 Heidi Saman and Smith Kelley, “'It's Taken On A Whole Other Life,' Says 'Crazy Rich Asians' Author Kevin Kwan,” NPR, August 20, 2018, https://www.npr.org/2018/08/20/638967374/its-taken-on-a-whole-other-life-says- crazy-rich-asians-author-kevin-kwan; Sam Gillette, “Why To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before Author Jenny Han Had to Fight for an Asian American Star,” People, August 22, 2018, https://people.com/books/to-all-the-boys-ive- loved-before-asian-american-representation/.

  • British Naturism Written Evidence
    Written evidence submitted by British Naturism [MISS0067] British Naturism written evidence Executive summary 1. Little or no progress has been made in improving body image over the past decade indicating that a radical rethink is necessary; 2. There is substantial evidence that a more relaxed attitude towards the body would result in significant improvements and there is no evidence of any deleterious effects; 3. Policy is not going to work unless firmly evidence-based and that must take precedence over fear of causing offence; 4. Significant improvements are possible at little or no cost. British Naturism 5. Naturism is everyday life without any requirement for clothing. There are many motivations for practising Naturism including freedom, convenience, comfort, health, and belief.1 6. British Naturism (BN) is the internationally recognised UK national naturist organisation. We exist to unite and support naturists, to protect, and provide more naturist venues, to make social nudity acceptable in the UK and to provide comprehensive information on naturism and naturists around the world. We have over 9000 active members and represent over 4 million naturists nationwide. BN is a member of the International Naturist Federation which covers 37 countries worldwide. 7. We have been working on body image and body knowledge related issues for at least twenty years. 8. We are grateful to the Committee for accepting a late submission from us. Overview 9. The seriousness of the poor body image problem is now better appreciated than it was, but comparisons with past government reports2 show that disturbingly little progress, if any, has been made. It is unlikely that continuing with the same strategies will produce the significant improvements necessary, and a radical rethink is required.

  • Review: Punt and Dennis – Ploughing on Regardless | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives Review: Punt and Dennis – Ploughing on Regardless Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Arts › Features Reviews Books Review: Punt and Dennis – Ploughing on Regardless Hilarious radio duo Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt take to stage as Katy Sandalls reviews Monday 17 February 2014 Photo courtesy of Punt and Dennis ★★★★☆ As a perennial fan of Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt’s inputs on the BBC Radio 4 programme The Now Show, the prospect of seeing them live on stage promised to be a treat – and it didn’t disappoint. Indeed, sat in the majestic setting of the York Grand Opera House, at times it felt like I was at a recording of the radio show with Punt producing his usual masterful set ups for Dennis to later pick up and run with. And run he did, with topics ranging from the TV listings experience to our obsession with the snow the show touched upon every possible avenue. One thing that did come across, lost to a radio audience, was Dennis’ mastery of visual comedy. A particular favourite being his take on the giving out of buns in Denmark to celebrate the signing of the treaty of Rome. That was the first and probably the last time I will see a man old enough to be my father walk in circles around a stage with the flap of jacket lifted up showing the audience his “beautiful buns”. Punt’s earlier cynical comment really summed this up well; the pair are indeed “wasted on the radio”.
