Martin Scott short bio.

My name is Martin Scott. I am a member of the Bradford Black History Committee, which is chaired by Nigel Guy MBE.

I am a Black African Caribbean Teacher of 24 years with an MA in Education. My action research approach studies focused on the effectiveness of Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning in educational settings.

I try to include and explore these issues in theatrical pieces, prose, music and films that I create. I am also a self taught musician and a member of the Leeds music house gospel choir.I have collaborated with various musicians in Bradford and Leeds on multiple projects.

I have also created a mini documentary called ‘Seeing with imagination’ which reflects on members of Bradford’s Black Caribbean community and the way they have overcome trauma through connection with the wider community.

I am currently working as a humanities teacher in Bradford at a school located in a definitively deprived area. In my opinion, for the students to know how to build bridges, cultural capital and an expression of their ideas and emotions outside of their own cultural references is needed.

I have a passion for trying to encourage unheard voices opportunities to be heard and understood. My belief is that it will help Bradford to grow into an even better artistically active and engaged multicultural city.
