YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBHM 2021 Presentations - Decolonising the University (21 Oct)
Across the Higher Education sector, statements of working towards ‘decolonising the university’ are commonplace. However, approaches and understandings of what decolonisation is both in definition and practice tends to differ, due to the absence of a unanimous definition. This presentation explores what we might mean by decolonising the university through a comprehensive decolonial lens, discussing key debates in relation to the curriculum and the university as an institution. Shannon Martin, a PhD student based at The Open University, will discuss her current research project titled ‘Decolonising the University: A Case Study of the Open University’. Dr Suki Haider, Associate Lecturer, will explore current good practice to decolonisation displayed by UK universities. We conclude with suggestions of how the OU can align itself to decolonising themes. Firstly, by joining the University of Sanctuary scheme, offering scholarships to forced migrant students. Secondly, by divesting from fossil fuels.
