Decolonising the Curriculum in Theory and Practice - 19 October 2016 - Decolonizing the Curriculum (Launch)

Ankhi Mukherjee and Ato Quayson, "Decolonizing the English Literary Curriculum" (Cambridge UP, 2023)

Release Date: 01/28/2024

Description: George Floyd's death on May 25th 2020 marked a watershed in reactions to anti-Black racism in the United States and elsewhere. Intense demonstrations around the world followed. Within literary studies, the demonstrations accelerated the scrutiny of the literary curriculum, the need to diversify the curriculum, and the need to incorporate more Black writers.  Decolonizing the English Literary Curriculum (Cambridge UP, 2023), jointly edited by Professor Ankhi Mukherjee and Professor Ato Quayson, is a major collection that aims to address these issues from a global perspective. An international team of leading scholars illustrate the necessity and advantages of reform from specific decolonial perspectives, with evidence-based arguments from classroom contexts, as well as establishing new critical agendas. The significance of Decolonizing the English Literary Curriculum lies in the complete overhaul it proposes for the study of English literature. It reconnects English studies, the humanities, and the modern, international university to issues of racial and social justice. Arnab Dutta Roy is Assistant Professor of World Literature and Postcolonial Theory at Florida Gulf Coast University.

Decolonising the Curriculum in Theory and Practice

Release Date: 04/12/2021

Authors: Cambridge University

Description: The call for decolonisation is resonating in universities across the globe today. The most dramatic instance has been the Rhodes Must Fall movement in South Africa, which inspired protests such as Rhodes Must Fall at Oxford and “Why is My Curriculum White” at UCL. These movements have found affinities with expanding struggles around race, gender, and class on North American campuses and with the upsurge of interest in decolonisation within professional academia. Our workshops and seminars will focus on one particular aspect of today’s demand to decolonise the university: the curriculum. Drawing from postcolonial, decolonial, and subaltern critiques of social science knowledge production and circulation, the research group will aim to explore the “postcolonial turn” or “Southern turn” in different domains of the humanities and social sciences. The series of activities are both inspired by and in dialogue with the increasing attention to the global plurality of particular disciplines, f

Decolonising the Curriculum in Theory and Practice - 10 May 2017 - Decolonising STEM

Release Date: 04/25/2021

Description: SpeakersProfessor Chanda Prescod-Weinstein (University of Washington, Seattle) Undefining Black Women Scientists:Past, Present and Future Dr Arianne Shahvisi (University of Sussex) This panel will take the debate on decolonising the curriculum to STEM subjects, asking whether the basic axioms of scientific objectivity need rethinking when they are premised on the marginalisation of subaltern people from STEM. From this premise follows the axiom that the subaltern can be a subject of research, but it cannot itself research. Can science be objective when the language embedded in it works to 'unconstruct' Black and Indigenous women (and more broadly other minoritised peoples) as physicists? How might we develop a heuristic for disrupting problematic explanations and generalisations, and thereby refuse to be complicit in them?
