Target Audience: Professionals who teach and/or support learning

This online workshop will be delivered by colleagues at the University of Glasgow who have been leading on efforts to decolonise the curriculum at Glasgow

It will introduce participants to some of the key, practical steps that enabled colleagues at the University of Glasgow to initiate and sustain communities of practice around Decolonising the Curriculum and some of the lessons learned to date.  

Participants will also reflect on the opportunities and challenges of establishing communities of practice at Strathclyde and be invited to assist members of the Steering Group to formulate plans.  

Participants will also undertake a series of reflective activities aimed at helping them to apply the approaches and lessons learned to their own disciplinary context, regardless of which Faculty or Department they represent.  

Background 

One of the key outputs of Strathclyde’s Race Equality Steering Group was the establishment of a ‘Decolonising the Curriculum’ community of practice. The Steering Group also identified staff development and capacity building as key opportunities.  

Recognising the potential for collaboration with colleagues in the wider HE sector in Scotland, members of the Curriculum and Development subgroup have partnered with colleagues at the University of Glasgow, who will support the establishment of a community of practice here at Strathclyde.  

This workshop is part of a series of events between November 2024 and June 2025. Details of other events in the series can be found on the Development and Training Booking System.
