GCSJ roundtable: How far did we decolonise

Centre for Global Challenges and Social Justice (GCSJ) Roundtable Series 2024-2025

This roundtable invites a critical exploration of the multifaceted work of decolonisation across the Open University. Aimed at fostering open, reflective discussion, the session will focus on two core objectives. First, it will highlight the various forms that decolonising work can take, recognizing the diverse approaches and disciplines involved in this transformative effort. Second, it will encourage speakers to examine how their experiences with decolonising research inform and reshape their teaching practices.
