Decolonisation in Higher Education: Questions and Prompts Workshop (York)

Join members of the YSJ Anti-Racism and Decolonisation Community of Praxis (ARDP) for an in-person workshop, on campus in York (CD/003), from 2-3.30pm on Wednesday 4th June.

During this 90-minute workshop, we will work through the Decolonisation in Higher Education: Questions and Prompts (PDF) in small groups and discuss their implications for decolonisation within our respective schools, departments, directorates and/or specific areas of work at YSJ.

We will consider the possibilities and challenges associated with such a process of questioning, exploring how we might use this approach to deepen our thinking on decolonisation and put it into practice in our work. We will also spend some time considering what other questions we might ask ourselves and our students, and how these might vary according to one’s role, background, discipline and institutional context.
