The Black Students' Network - Decolonisation Report
Your Black Students' Network has published its 'Decolonising the Curriculum' Report, written by Decolonisation Officer Monique Arowojolu.
"This campaign effectively increased awareness among students about the institution's efforts to decolonise, regardless of their ethnic background. The newsletter kept students informed about institutional changes and opportunities, often exceeding what the university typically provided. By joining the Black Student’s Network through the newsletter, readers gained access to valuable resources.
"The decolonisation efforts included diverse perspectives from collaborators like the BAME network, the student hub, and individual students. The campaign fostered a shared culture of decolonisation on campus. Although it struggled to extend this culture beyond the university, it did inform various organizations about the network’s aims through career-related outreach.
"The network also promoted decolonisation via short-form content on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Videos from decolonisation events, such as the decol coffee morning, were shared online, creating a community of engagement. The response helped define decolonisation for a broader audience.
"All four success indicators were met, and two of the four objectives were achieved. The goal of sharing data with the student board for institutional consideration will be accomplished with the publication of this report."
Please do take the time to give this incredibly insightful report a read, it provides valuable insights into the perspectives of those affected by decolonisation.
