This study provided an opportunity to explore Ethnocultural Empathy and the perceived personal impact of the Black Lives Matter movement in two multi-cultural inner-city secondary schools, through interviews and quantitative analysis. The findings both replicate aspects of other studies in the area of Ethnocultural Empathy and deepen this understanding over a large sample size. This study has shown significant differences in Ethnocultural Empathy scores across a range of demographic factors including gender, roles, ethnicity and age. Interestingly, there were also a number of other significant differences across demographic factors regarding attitudes to the Black Lives Matter movement, although this is a less consistent result across the two school environments. The study concludes with a discussion of implications and potential areas for future research.
