SHOWCASE: Lit in Colour Pioneers Pilot research overview

This session will focus on the key findings from Pearson and Penguin Books’ Lit in Colour Pioneers Pilot research which was launched earlier this month. The research was carried out by researchers at Oxford University’s Department of Education in collaboration with The Runnymede Trust and highlights the positive impact on students in England of studying a text by a writer of colour for their English Literature GCSE. This activity is part of the wider Lit in Colour campaign that works with multiple education and publishing stakeholders to support UK schools make the teaching and learning of English Literature more inclusive of writers of colour.
