{Soch} is a patiently evolving work in progress. As the name implies, {Soch} will be a place to think and reflect on issues affecting self-identity in children’s literature and in teaching practice.

I hope to delve into the representation of diversity within books today and explore stereotypical images and hidden bias’ to challenge my own sense of Media Literacy further.

I look forward to sharing resources such as a working list of book and film titles representing the Sikh identity and dialogue about the messages such media sends. You will find quotes and lesson ideas that encourage diversity of thought each and every day.

I welcome you to join me on this global journey and who knows the places we’ll go!
