In April 2024, the Decolonising the Discipline network brought together educators from secondary and higher education to explore what it really means to have a diverse curriculum and what we might mean by decolonisation in that context (view the recording of this event).
The second part of What Does It Mean To Have A Diverse Curriculum brings together two decolonising initiatives led by practitioners in English Studies and Modern Foreign Languages to explore how schools and universities collaborate on decolonising initiatives.
Decolonising the Discipline is a collaborative initiative undertaken jointly by colleagues at the English Association, the Institute of English Studies, the University of East Anglia, the Postcolonial Studies Association and University English. We invite academics from across English Studies in the UK to join us in building a network of decolonising practitioners through which we can gather and share experiences and ideas to effect practical change.
