Speaking Citizens is a project researching the politics of speaking and listening in education and public life.
Since 2020, we have brought together teachers, social sciences and humanities researchers, policymakers, exam boards and charities to ask difficult questions about the educational approach known as ‘oracy’.
It is run from the University of Sussex by the cultural historian Tom F. Wright, who introduces its aims in the below video.
On this site you can explore our findings, read our publications, watch videos from our Uses of Oracy conference, check out our educational resources, and browse an archive of blogs from leading experts.
We hope that you find this site useful. For more information drop us a line at mail@speakingcitizens.org
