Diversifying and Decolonising Education

The ‘Diversifying and Decolonising’ project consists of two major impact outputs: a podcast about diversifying and decolonising the University (and other educational providers), as well as a set of workshops and training for members of the Hertfordshire Association of Museums. The project is grounded in work happening at UH and beyond that questions the colonial foundations of institutions like universities and museums. This project aims to impact people beyond higher education through public engagement outputs that will enable other areas of society to rethink their histories and structures of whiteness. We thus intend our academic research and praxis to affect listeners outside of HE, by being able to invite a wider pool of guests to the podcast episodes, and involve those who work in the museum/heritage sector, as well as the local community.
