Show, Tell and Talk: Decolonisation and sustainability

Staff register here Students register here

Many higher educational institutions and disciplines of study were created during colonial times and their curricula developed to match that world view. This has affected the way knowledge is produced, validated and disseminated. Decolonisation is an active process of critical scrutiny of our curricula and teaching practices aimed at understanding this legacy and beginning the work of dismantling it.

Following last year’s focus on sustainability, this session will include a series of presentations and talks on decolonising  activities within schools and divisions at the University, followed by feedback and discussions.

This 90 minute in-person workshop takes place in Room 1.20, Helen Wodehouse Building, 35 Berkeley Square.

Facilitators:

• Alvin Birdi – Associate PVC – Education Innovation and Enhancement 
• Chris Preist – University Academic Director of Sustainability

The session includes a presentation, group discussion, and will end with a chance to mingle with fellow attendees.

Catering arrangements:
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided on arrival, from 12.45 pm.

Target Audience:
