Join the Conversation: Antiracism in Learning Technology – Monthly Lunch & Share: How do we ensure learning technologies actively support antiracist practice rather than unintentionally reinforcing inequities? These are the kinds of questions we explore in the Antiracism in Learning Technology (ARLT) SIG Monthly ‘Lunch & Share’ - a one-hour, informal discussion space held from 12 noon to 1:00 PM on the last Tuesday of every month.
This session is designed as a safe, supportive environment where colleagues across higher and further education can come together to reflect on contemporary issues in antiracism and learning technology. Whether you are just beginning to think about antiracist approaches or are already deeply embedded in this work, the meeting offers a welcoming space to listen, question, and contribute.
A key feature of the Lunch & Share is the opportunity to bring and discuss case studies. Participants are invited to share practical examples of projects, challenges, or successes where antiracism intersects with education and learning technology. These might include curriculum design, assessment, accessibility, staff development, platform choices, or student partnership work. Sharing a case study allows you to gain constructive feedback, learn from peers facing similar challenges, and reflect more deeply on your own practice. There are also clear benefits to attending even if you’re not presenting. Participants gain exposure to real-world examples, develop a stronger understanding of antiracist principles in digital education, and build connections with a growing community of practice. Many attendees value the space as a rare opportunity to have open, thoughtful conversations about complex issues that are not always easy to discuss elsewhere. The ARLT SIG will also help amplify shared case studies to a wider audience, increasing visibility for your work and supporting collective learning across the sector.
Bring your lunch, your curiosity, and your experiences, and be part of a community committed to meaningful change in learning technology. If you would like to share a case study during one of our Lunch & Share sessions and would like us to dedicate some time to it during the session, please email us at arltsig@alt.ac.uk at least a week before the session.
