Summary 
The Education Development Service at Birmingham City University invites you to its third annual Series on Decolonising Academic Practice. After two years of lectures and learning on decolonising academic practice, this year, we focus on the reimagining of what Higher Education could/should look like from a decolonial perspective. While the sector has positively engaged with decolonising as a principle necessary for excellence in teaching, we believe there needs to be continued investigation into authentic principles and actions for decolonising. This series is unique, as it brings a focus on what HE could look like, and how we get there as a sector.

We are hosting this workshop series to focus on imagination of how decolonising can and should change Higher Education teaching, research, and institutions. We hope to gain and share insight into how decolonising principles have been or can be implemented, and how different subjects or types of academic practice can work toward decolonised knowledge. We hope to provide an instructional approach for those who attend the lectures. 
The lecture series will consist of up to 90-minute workshop that can be done online or face to face. Colleagues will be expected to facilitate their own workshop with support from BCU. 

We encourage workshops to be submitted in the following areas: 
1.	Curriculum design & delivery (subject specific, or wider learning design principles)
2.	Use of technology in learning
3.	Institutions and structures
4.	People and practitioners
5.	Creating evidence to inform decolonial practice

We particularly encourage submissions from those with an international perspective that can speak on their experiences and expertise having centred their own culture and learning environments. We particularly encourage discussions on pedagogical techniques used in South Asia, the Caribbean, and in Africa as this reflects the heritage of most of our student body, as well as postcolonial/anti-colonial experiences. 

Date: The series will be held over the course of the month of May. Dates and times will be confirmed with facilitators based on their availability once the submission is selected to be a part of the series. 

Submissions should be made here: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=VeArfoqCI0W15bd62ZOXhW_m7YbMquREnWUWDcW8b9VUQjJNR0xCNzlTTEMyTkdRSkFRUEFBTkxLTC4u
