Countering far-right threat through Britishness: the prevent duty in further education/ Natalie James - 2022

This research reveals how British Values are positioned within the education system as the antithesis to all forms of extremism and terrorism and embedded within classroom pedagogy. It finds that there are questions over the promotion of an agenda which echoes in-group/out-group constructions of (ethno-nationalist) acceptability found within Far-Right ideologies, through notions of Britishness. Further, it examines the ecological agency of educationalists in responding to such concerns through the enactment of policy to "re-package" the agenda whilst simultaneously revealing the limitations placed on such actions by governance processes, curriculum limitations and wider discourses of exclusionary politics.
