Home education, racism and Traveller communities

Abstract

The subject of home education, racism and Travellers is under-researched. Interestingly, Traveller communities are rarely considered as home educators, yet they represent an evergrowing element of the wider home-education population in the UK. In this article I discuss home education, racism and Traveller communities and consider the situation in which they are brought together. I draw on empirical data collected for my doctoral research and my professional experiences of working with Traveller communities in a Traveller Education service.
