THE Podcast: Decolonising The Curriculum Times Higher Education podcast

THE Podcast: Decolonising The Curriculum Times Higher Education podcast | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
What does it really mean to decolonise the curricula and pedagogy of higher education? Dr. Meera Sabaratnam, senior lecturer in international relations at SOAS University of London and chair of the decolonising SOAS working group joins the podcast to discuss what decolonising looks like in a UK context and how it goes well beyond just the content of a course.


Kaleke Kolawole, a graduate of the African studies master's programme at SOAS University of London and a facilitator for decolonising toolkits also joins to explain why this work should extend to secondary and primary education.

And Myriam Kane, a member of Goldsmiths Anti-Racist Action (GARA) and a former member of the National Union of Students' national executive council, gives a first-hand account of the 137-day student protest at Goldsmiths, University of London and why cultural competency training for all staff and annual funding specifically for black history events were among the protestors' demands

Un-silencing the silent voices –

Un-silencing the silent voices – | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Our information literacy research has highlighted the importance of bringing minority or indigenous voices into our research conversations with students and colleagues. I previously posted on information literacy’s (IL) role in decolonising the curriculum. As I reflect on that post, two key questions have emerged:

  • How can we, as teachers and librarians, ensure our students are being exposed to a range of perspectives on any issue?
  • How can we support students to find a range of diverse voices in Google, Google Scholar and academic databases?
