ISH Panel: ‘Demilitarising Education’ | Fiona Sim

Our It Starts Here Conference returns for another year - this time revamped (and digital)!

We were excited to continue our jam-packed Saturday programme with our fourth panel of the day (in parallel with our Scotland discussion).
This panel explored the issue of militarism in Higher Education, and the links between universities and the arms trade. Our speakers also discussed how militarism impacts how Higher Education approaches issues such as borders, policing, and systematic oppression more generally.


The panel was moderated by Malak Mayet, Universities Co-ordinator at Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT).
