Decolonising Learning and Research - Panel Roundtable

Date 5 November 2024
Time 5 - 6:30pm
Location 309 Regent Street
Cost Free

Join the Westminster Development Policy Network for an event that promises to be filled with insightful discussion. 

A widespread pressure to decolonise the curriculum in UK Universities has materialised as the lack of enabling learning and research environments is compounded by the inability of the knowledge that is routinely created and taught in University establishments to challenge racial categorisations. 

By allowing for knowledge systems alternative to those that enabled the experience of colonisation, Universities start to create inclusive environments not only for research and learning but also for the future of our society as a whole.

Our panel roundtable will explore this debate in the company of three guest speakers. They will be talking about the decolonisation of research and learning from multiple perspectives, ranging from aid and health emergency policies to health inequalities, organisational change, and equality in the workplace, and to the very criticisms that have been moved to today’s decolonisation debate.

Speakers will include Dr Sabine Franklin, Wellesley College, USA; Dr Amber Murrey, University of Oxford; Dr Ricardo Twumasi, King’s College, London; and panel chair: Prof. Dibyesh Anand, University of Westminster.
