In Conversation with Eylan Ezekiel

In this episode, I’m speaking to Eylan Ezekiel about his Jewish identities, how he has navigated talking about the Middle East, and anti-semitism in schools, and how he thinks school leaders can approach these issues with empathy and compassion.

Eylan Ezekiel  is  Head of Hamilton Brookes - one of the most trusted voices in primary publishing. He is also an edtech consultant: supporting schools and organisations to create and shape exceptional educational experiences through content, platforms and services for learning.Eylan is  working on a set of new projects around Jewish diversity, including a podcast called Who Jew Think You Are? - which he hosts with Penny Rabiger.

An experienced primary teacher, and Fellow of the Chartered College of Teaching, Eylan has taken his close understanding of pedagogy and practice to his work with educational publishers, edtech producers, NGOs, Third Sector and policy organisations – including Oxford University Press, Arts Council England, and Oxfam GB.
