项目摘要

Britain's longstanding colonial relationship with the Caribbean means that there is an important need for education about this aspect of our history, recognized in the National Curriculum for England. However, few research-led resources exist for teaching Caribbean history, especially for topics other than slavery. This project will work with teachers and Theatre-in-Education practitioners to create resources to stimulate teaching and learning about wider aspects of Caribbean history, as well as broader questions related to the diversity of religious practice historically and today. It draws on a previous AHRC research fellowship (Spiritual Politics in Caribbean History) which led to the publication of a monograph, The Cultural Politics of Obeah (Cambridge University Press, 2015). As part of the research for the book Diana Paton collected evidence about hundreds of cases of prosecution for religious crimes in the Caribbean. These crimes included obeah (a form of spiritual healing often referred to as witchcraft) and contravention of Trinidad's Shouter Prohibition Ordinance, which prohibited the worship of those affiliated with the Spiritual Baptist Church. Paton analysed the case records collected as part of the project in her monograph; they will now be made available to a wider audience, along with rich material contained in the records that could not be included in the book. The case records include many human stories that reveal aspects of Caribbean history, society and culture that are rarely accessible to teachers, students, or the wider interested public. This project will use the methods of Theatre-in-Education to make them accessible to students across the secondary curriculum, especially in drama, citizenship, religious education, English, geography, and history.The project will organize workshops in four state secondary schools, all of whom are interested in expanding their teaching relating to the Caribbean and to religious diversity, whether or not their student body includes substantial numbers of children from Caribbean-heritage backgrounds. It will involve eight teachers and at least 120 students. The schools, in Newcastle upon Tyne, Peterlee (County Durham), Leeds, and London are diverse in the social and ethnic background of their pupils. Two have ethnically mixed student bodies including a substantial proportion of Caribbean descent, while two are predominantly white and working class in intake. At each, professionals from Talawa Theatre Company will work with key stage 3 pupils (ages 11-14) to explore themes raised by the case material, enabling them to respond creatively to concepts, questions, and topics it raises. Educational consultant and former teacher Carol Dixon will develop written materials and provide support to implement lesson plans in preparation for the workshops. Different schools will use the material in different settings, including an extra-curricular drama club and timetabled history and drama lessons, providing a variety of experiences that will be recorded in written reports and a film designed to stimulate and assist with ongoing use of the material beyond the lifetime of the project. The workshops will be supported by a website which will provide a permanent resource for teachers, community educators, and Theatre-in-Education professionals to use with students and for young people to access directly themselves. The website will provide contextual materials, including lesson plans, narrative biographies, images, and the project film, alongside a database of primary sources. These materials will enable the development of unanticipated uses of the research material beyond the formal curriculum for creative and informal purposes by wider publics.The teachers and schools involved in the project will connect through a 'virtual' meet-up before the workshops begin, and at a final project event where students will present their work to a community audience and each other.

英国与加勒比地区的长期殖民关系意味着，非常需要对英国国家课程中承认的我们历史的这一方面进行教育。然而，很少有以研究为主导的资源用于教授加勒比历史，特别是奴隶制以外的主题。该项目将与教师和戏剧教育从业人员合作，创造资源，以促进对加勒比历史更广泛方面的教学和学习，以及与历史上和今天宗教实践多样性有关的更广泛问题。它借鉴了以前的AHRC研究奖学金（加勒比历史上的精神政治），导致出版了一本专著，Obeah的文化政治（剑桥大学出版社，2015年）。作为该书研究的一部分，戴安娜·佩顿收集了加勒比地区数百起宗教犯罪起诉案件的证据。这些罪行包括obeah（一种精神治疗形式，通常被称为巫术）和违反特立尼达的禁止喊叫法令，该法令禁止那些与精神浸信会有联系的人崇拜。佩顿在她的专著中分析了作为该项目一部分收集的案件记录;这些记录现在将提供给更广泛的读者，沿着的还有记录中所包含的丰富材料，这些材料不能包括在书中。案例记录包括许多人类故事，揭示了教师，学生或更广泛的感兴趣的公众很少接触到的加勒比历史，社会和文化的各个方面。该项目将利用教育中的戏剧方法，使学生能够在中学课程中学习戏剧，特别是戏剧、公民意识、宗教教育、英语、地理和历史，该项目将在四所国立中学组织讲习班，所有这些学校都有兴趣扩大与加勒比和宗教多样性有关的教学，他们的学生是否包括大量来自加勒比传统背景的儿童。它将涉及8名教师和至少120名学生。泰恩河畔的纽卡斯尔、达勒姆郡的彼得利、利兹和伦敦的学校在学生的社会和种族背景上各不相同。其中两所学校的学生族裔混合，包括相当比例的加勒比裔，而另外两所学校的学生主要是白色人和工人阶级。在每一个，从塔拉瓦戏剧公司的专业人士将与关键阶段3学生（年龄11-14），探索由案例材料提出的主题，使他们能够创造性地回应概念，问题，和它提出的主题。教育顾问和前教师卡罗尔狄克逊将制定书面材料，并提供支持，以实施课程计划，为讲习班做准备。不同的学校将在不同的环境中使用这些材料，包括课外戏剧俱乐部和可播放的历史和戏剧课程，提供各种经验，这些经验将记录在书面报告和电影中，旨在鼓励和协助在项目结束后继续使用这些材料。这些讲习班将得到一个网站的支持，该网站将为教师、社区教育工作者和教育戏剧专业人员提供一个永久资源，供学生使用，并供年轻人自己直接访问。该网站将提供上下文材料，包括课程计划，叙述性传记，图像和项目电影，以及主要来源的数据库。这些材料将使研究材料的开发超出了正式课程的创造性和非正式的目的，由更广泛的公众的意料之外的用途。参与该项目的教师和学校将通过一个“虚拟”的会议之前，讲习班开始，并在最后的项目活动，学生将介绍他们的工作，以社区观众和对方连接。
