Demystifying decolonising the curriculum

Insights from teaching practices in the faculty panel discussion and launch of faculty guidelines for critical actions and reflection

This online event is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Conference 2022 at the University of Nottingham.

One of the FoSS’s Sphere challenges is to focus on Decolonising the Curriculum. But what does this mean in practice? The decolonial turn has brought with it new ways of thinking and language to go with it that are not always clear. It is also not just about theorising but a call to action.

This panel discussion aims to demystify some of the key concepts outlined in the Faculty’s ‘Reconfiguring ways of being, knowing and doing: A Guide for Critical Reflection and Action towards Decolonising the Curriculum and creating a more inclusive and equitable institution’ by showing how they can be taken up in practice.  Join us for a panel discussion with colleagues from a range of schools in the Faculty talk about how they demystify some of the core ideas around the decolonial turn and work with these principles in their teaching.
