Decolonising the curriculum While many academics are interested in decolonising curricula, fewer feel confident in where or how to start. The term ‘decolonisation’ is often misconstrued as a process of deleting or dismissing past teaching.

This collection of resources explores the process of decolonising curricula across different disciplines, with a special THE Campus webinar featuring four academics from the UK and Australia unpicking this complex and important topic.
