Welcome to TRACTION

TRACTION (Teaching Race, Belonging, Empire and Migration) offers training for teachers on issues of race, belonging, migration and empire. The TRACTION platform consists of three specialist, interdisciplinary modules covering the historical timeline to the present day, along with an additional module on educational theory and pedagogy. Created by specialist researchers and education experts at the University of Oxford, these are aimed at teachers of English and History primarily, but not limited to, the KS3 level.
