How the Workshop will contribute to Learning Practice
Consider the meaning of the phrase ‘decolonising the curriculum’, why it is important and what challenges are involved.
Discuss with others a selection of actions that we can take to start to ‘decolonise’ the modules and courses we teach.
Identify one action that you yourself can take to make changes to your own module(s) and start to plan the steps involved.
