Knowledge, Learning, Community

This article describes some practical steps that can be taken to decolonize and diversify learning. These include (paraphrased): increasing representation in audio-visual material of women and people from different ethnic backgrounds and countries of origin; including examples of research conducted by women and researchers from different countries; and encouraging students to consider local communities and the cultural and socioeconomic context of the areas of study. These are all recommendations I attempt to follow in my own work and things I think are worth doing. They should not be requirements, though, and equally, they should not be prohibited.
