How to get started? Do something. Do anything. Don't get overwhelmed by the enormity of it - start with something, anything, no matter how small. Take the first risk, then the next one feels less and less... #decolonisingthecurriculum

Remuneration is important. If you want to recognise students as partners, then treat them as such. Everyone else at the table is being paid for their valuable time - why should students give their time to you for free?#decolonisingthecurriculum

Do our students trust us? Do they trust us to genuinely see them as partners, as having a stake and a voice in their own education? Do they trust us to do things solely for their benefit and not because the OfS told us to? #decolonisingthecurriculum

We need to make education a space in which students feel included and centred. Such a key issue, with engagement and attainment and retention being such priorities for universities. #decolonisingthecurriculum

How to address staff diversity - we mustn't look at students as just passing through academia - we want them to view as the academy as a place for them long-term, somewhere they can continue on to PG studies, research, a possible career. #decolonisingthecurriculum

Hillary Gyebi-Ababio's response to those who deny racism: basically, just go around them! Don't let people like that hold you up.
Dr Jason Arday says similar - don't waste gas and air on people who just want to argue and hurt.

The first step is to decolonise ourselves. It requires us to look within ourselves, examine our own practice, examine our own biases, assess our impact, open our minds to alternative approaches. #decolonisingthecurriculum

Doing nothing is not an option. Anti-racist strategies and approaches need to be in place. We need concrete examples in place to use to support and educate staff, resources staff can draw on - crowd-sourced material and solutions. #decolonisingthecurriculum

Learning outcomes don't change. But decolonisation makes a richer, more empowering educational environment and allows students to contribute and shape their own education and allows them to develop political and sociological awareness. #decolonisingthecurriculum

The approach has to be top-down, of course, to get leadership buy-in, but also bottom up - people need to be brought along on the process and encouraged to contribute and listen and step up. #decolonisingthecurriculum

Academics are not being asked to disregard the canon, but to disrupt the conventional wisdom. More representation of non Western authors and an awareness of the context in which scholarship and knowledge is produced. #decolonisingthecurriculum

Allies need to be visible. They need to be noticeable. They need to stand up and stay standing. We have the luxury of choosing WHEN we want to champion causes - others don't have that luxury. We need to be committed and in for the long haul. #decolonisingthecurriculum

If you want to help your society make a shift to a future that we can all thrive in, it has to be personal, you have to bring your heart and soul into it - it can't just be 'academic' or intellectual. #decolonisingthecurriculum

In order to find a way in life, marginalised communities need to find a way into society, and that is not easy for them, as the systems and structures have not been designed with their participation in mind - it's all an uphill slog. #decolonisingthecurriculum
