As reported in the Staff Newsletter of 26/1/2022, the LLC has set aside £5,000 which can be used to purchase books/resources to support the Inclusive Curriculum, equality & diversity as it relates to modules in your discipline – as well as the usual method of adding titles to your online module reading list. The fund also covers looking at your curriculum through a ‘Decolonisation’ lens – see this post from the THE for a definition of decolonisation.
We received a list of resource requests from Sarah Ross, in the School of Medicine. The list ‘Racism and decolonising the curriculum reading’ was created by students – co-creation is one way of identifying missing voices in the literature – and contains article references , video & blog links in addition to books – examples from the list below:
