Racial Justice, Memory Manipulation, RE Curriculum

Sunday Sequence

Available for 21 days

On Racial Justice Sunday Mark Devenport talks with New York Times Bestselling author and historian Jemar Tisby about how the church fails to tackle racism. Local woman Maureen Hamblin and Tim Magowan, from the circle of change group, give an account of what is happening here in Northern Ireland. We also investigate the ethics of memory looking at how memory can be manipulated and false memories created. Psychologists Ciara Greene and Gillian Murphy tell us why having a flexible rather than a photographic memory can be a good thing. And Dr James Nelson gives us his best guess as to what the new RE Curriculum in Northern Ireland might like and what it should be called!
