ABOUT

Decolonisation elicits a complex array of inquiries extending beyond the mere augmentation of our reading lists. It necessitates contemplation of the inherent power dynamics in both classroom and supervisory spaces, the forms and repercussions of assessments, and the literatures and methodologies we advocate. Moreover, it demands a consideration of our interactions with fellow scholars, students, and other academic institutions. By its very essence, this constitutes a long-term undertaking. Although substantive efforts towards decolonisation have transpired at Lancaster, these have predominantly occurred in isolated pockets rather than through a concerted, coordinated approach. Consequently, our group was instituted in November 2019 and currently comprises over 500 members as of 2024.
