Decolonising the Curriculum Facilitators
The Deconolising the Curriculum Facilitators are a group of staff that work across each faculty to support the development of a decolonised curriculum. The work with academic staff to facilitate reflections & guide conversations on how to create a curriculum that is decolonial in its approach to the subject matter being taught. They help reflect on not only what we learn, but also where we learn from, what case studies are taught and how teaching can be delivered. They oversee and direct work within the faculties to progress the decolonising agenda, host events & workshops and link into the wider school work in this area. You can contact the facilitators on Decolonising@Lshtm.ac.uk
