Decolonising School rescources
I share here a list of resources covering different subject areas that I compiled last year as part of my University role as the Academic Lead for Decolonising the Curriculum (2020-21). You can find here different toolkits and manifestos, examples of good practice developed at other universities, links to key books and articles, etc. Resources cover the following subject areas: decolonising STEM, medicine and health science, computing, engineering, mathematics, law, business studies, econimics, architecture, sports science, art and design history, media, eductation, humanities, english language and lingusitics, literature, creative writing, social science and geography.
It is also available as an Aspire reading list and this includes a more extensive list of books in the University library:

Dear Vedrana
Dorothea Smartt here. I wonder if you would be willing to share your list with me via email – I’m unable to access it via this blog.
I’m currently a PhD Cultural Studies student at The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus Barbados, and it would be very helpful for my research here, and for my regular seminars at Royal College of Artaud University of the Arts, London. Many thanks 🙏🏾

Hi Dorothea, thanks for visiting! I’ve emailed you.
The list is available on our blog – please click on the green link/subtitle ‘Decolonising School resources’ on the blog page and the document will open. Don’t click on the Aspire reading list at the bottom as this is internal to UoB staff only😊.

Hello!
I am a Journalistic Student from Germany and in the UK at the moment for my final project, which will be a small Podcast for my University to enlight an educate more about postcolonial structures.
(Post-)colonialism still influences our global system and every small system today. The people who are affected by this from a partially favoured side often deal little with the everyday and structural consequences of colonialism. However, as it affects society as a whole, I would like to shed more light on post-colonial realities. I came to the UK to interview people in the largest colonising country about their experiences and stories, mainly with African roots. The whole thing is my final project of my journalism degree in Germany and I would be very happy to find people for short interviews, anonymously if you like, I can come anywhere and I am still in Brighton for a two weeks.
Maybe you can pass on the enquiry, because in Germany there is still far too little information about (post-)colonialism. I would like to change that. Maybe someone is interested, I would be delighted. The whole thing is of course without a camera, would take 20 minutes max and I come everywhere around London and Brighton. Every age, every sex, if born in the UK or anywhere else, with roots from any colonized countriy – everyone is welcome to talk about his or her perspective: where do personally you feel or see postcolonial structures?
Maybe you can support or transfer my demand to anyone who could held and is interested in taking part. Please don’t hesitate to call me at any time: +44 7412712905 or WhatsApp: +49 1577 529 5834.
And in the case, that anyone would be interested in publishing, I can try to find a German radio talk about the topic and send a short statement of the person.
Kind regards,
Rachel Patt
