Building on the theoretical insights developed in the previous seminars in this series, this seminar considers the specific role of decolonising the curriculum within the broader aims of decolonisation and epistemic justice. It will focus on what it means in practical terms to decolonise the curriculum and the implications for assessment and pedagogy. 

in this workshop an interactive tool for Employability and Academic Skills (EAS) will be demonstrated by Senior Lecturer Dr Hadi Abulrub (Mechanical Engineering). The EAS tool was developed for Engineering with Management postgraduate programme at the Faculty of Engineering which aims to translate the University’s skills framework (along with programme attributes outcomes) into a programme-specific skills matrix.

An online talk by Dr Adam Rutherford. Contemporary concepts of race have shallow historical roots, invented as they were during the European Age of Enlightenment, exploration and plunder. From the 17th century, philosophers, scientists and writers concocted taxonomies of our species, sometimes based on crude traits like pigmentation and bone morphology, and often just made up.
Science, and notably the new science of genetics did a good job of dismantling these racial categories in the 20th century, and showing that while race is very real because we perceive it, the folk taxonomies that everyone understands and uses have little basis in biology. However, in recent years, new techniques in genetics, sometimes poorly deployed, misunderstood or misrepresented, have given succour to those who wish to reinforce traditional racial categories, alongside common attempts to understand common observations such as in sporting success and cognitive abilities.
