This event may be somewhat focused on UK higher education but the broader topic of
decolonising curricula should be of interest to all list members. Note that numbers
are limited so register asap to secure a place.

Subject: Racism in Higher Education Webinar 18 November 2020
Dear Colleagues
In recent years, and accelerated by the nationwide Black Lives Matters movement,
there has been growing concern within higher education about the continuing
‘whiteness ‘ of the curriculum. Even disciplines within the social sciences, which
are nominally concerned with such issue as equality, poverty, social inclusion and
diversity have tended to have very weak strands of work around ‘race’ and ethnicity.
In the last few years however several major reports have emerged which are beginning
to address this shameful gap. NEREF is convening a national webinar which will
present the findings of some of these reports including the Social Policy
Association’s report on the lack of a dimension of ‘race’ in most higher education
teaching; the Royal Historical Society’s report on the failure of history teaching
properly to address key issues such as empire , colonialism and slavery, and the
Equality and Human Rights Commission report on racism in higher education. All are
welcome to attend this zoom event details of which are appended but we are limiting
numbers to ensure that the webinar is manageable. Please register as soon as possible
by clicking on this link: https://forms.ncl.ac.uk/view.php?id=9402016. We look
forward to your attendance.
Please also circulate this to your networks.
