[Academic] Looking for help on Decolonising/Diversifying the Curriculum

[Carol Trager-Cowan]

Dear All,

We have been asked by the Faculty to provide information related to Decolonising/Diversifying the Curriculum.

I am wanting to pull together examples of what we do across the Department, and through informal conversations, have been able to collect a few examples of activities or items that are included in our courses.
They range from highlighting contributions to physics from outside Europe; from people of colour; from those with disabilities; and from those in gender minorities; and through demonstrating the importance of international partnerships to advance physics.  Other examples include having a Peter’s projection or Pacific centred map of the world in your office; considering how a student’s hidden experiences, culture and perspective may affect how they interact with other students in group work; setting assignments where students choose elements that are important to them and their future career.

I would therefore very much appreciate it if you would send me a paragraph describing anything you do to highlight/support diversity in your teaching.

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Carol
