The day opened with a session which asks, Does identity matter?

Workshops included: Identity and strategy; What does it mean to be black?; Islamophobia and Muslim identities; Is Marxism Eurocentric?; Antisemitism, Zionism and Jewish identity; Right wing populism and identity politics; and Decolonising Education.
