What if boys and girls were treated exactly the same? What difference would it make to them... to their self-esteem... to their confidence? The Lincolnite spoke to primary school teacher and gender neutrality champion Graham Andre when he visited the city for a talk as part of the Be Inspired lecture series at the University of Lincoln. We met Graham in the Eleanor Glanville Centre on the Brayford campus, where a dedicated team work to drive cultural change, inclusion and diversity across the institution. He had spent the day exploring the city after travelling from the Isle of White for the talk, and began the meeting by discussing his experiences under the lens of BBC camera crews. In 2017, Graham appeared on a BBC reality TV programme about gender free classrooms titled No More Boys and Girls.
