Abstract: This paper explores reparative approaches to histories of schooling. We reflect on an ongoing research project that is attempting to construct a "people's history of schooling" in Bristol, England. The research aims to expand understandings of past and present conditions of racial and class injustices in education and how we are all implicated in different ways in these structures. It seeks to foster dialogue between teachers, school leaders, children, parents, and wider communities across the city about collective responsibility and reparative redress for educational injustice. In this paper we argue for "living" archival practices in histories of education -- mutable, multi-modal, participatory and politically engaged processes that privilege possibilities of redress within communities in the present. Such methodological orientations, we suggest, can help understand complex implication in injustice as well as the interconnectedness of past, present and future in reparative action. The paper sets out a case for history of education to take seriously reparative frameworks in theory and in practice.
