Today, read about an interview with me on the social construction of race and a forthcoming presentation on vocational education and training.
Race
I was interviewed by Metro (UK) for their series, The State of Racism:
“…Race is a social construction,” says Dr. Zuleyka Zevallos, Adjunct Research Fellow at Swinburne University. “Race is a system of classification and stratification, based on perceived biological differences. Race is stratification because these categories rank some groups as superior to others. It’s not based on some innate and immutable scientific fact.”

Education
I’ll be speaking on a panel at the Skills Conference on 11 June 2020. I’ll speak on our collaboration to improve self-help behaviour among apprentices and trainees. We’ve conducted a behavioural insights trial using SMS to increase engagement, to provide resources and other support, and to encourage learners to reach out when they’re struggling with their vocational education and training.
