'Racially minoritised students’ ratings on each of the CSCS’s four scales were significantly lower, with medium to large effect sizes. They especially noticed how people of colour were represented in negative or stereotyped ways and thought classroom interactions were less inclusive.' 1/3
Black and Asian students experience the curriculum as less culturally sensitive
Outcomes get all the attention, but what about the experience gaps by ethnicity which persist in UK higher education? Kathleen Quinlan and Dave Thomas present their research
