“The challenges of multiculturalism are not teaching minorities, but majorities. Because school curriculums are politicised we need to teach plural histories & literature to understand who we are today,” says @NasarMeer. #NMBR18 with @ECMIFlensburg
We’re talking about #multiculturalism with @NasarMeer at our #NMBR18 summer school. He says that “States have to recognise difference, not just among individuals but groups too. Local contexts are important in conversations about citizenship, plurality & equality in Europe.”

First lecture of #NMBR2018 attacks head on the conundrum of definition: when is a minority a minority? Which markers? Ascriptions? Do we need a definition? Who decides who is a minority? Is it a good term? What do you think?
