Contributor(s): Dr Manmit Bhambra | The politics of ‘difference’ remain salient in contemporary societies; discrimination often encompasses the sometimes less obvious, but equally damaging forms of prejudice, which can lead to a breakdown of dialogue and trust between people. So how can we shape a more inclusive future?
We can achieve greater inclusivity if we focus on achieving and maintaining dialogue between the diverse social groups that make up our society. Representation is also key; by striving to include more voices in debates around identity and belonging, we can better understand what facilitates and hinders acceptance and inclusion and take that forward through our research. Fostering a positive sense of national identity can also help create a sense of inclusion and belonging.
Is there a way that we can have a renewed debate around Britishness that can bridge divides and foster a common culture? And what is the role of young people?
