TORCH Goes Digital! Decolonising the Curriculum

Decolonising the curriculum must mean more than simply including diverse texts. As Dalia Gebrial, one of the editors of Decolonising the University (Pluto Press, 2018) has written, any student and academic-led decolonisation movement must not only "rigorously understand and define its terms, but locate the university as just one node in a network of spaces where this kind of struggle must be engaged with. To do this […] is to enter the university space as a transformative force."

Working with the great wealth of material created by the incredible researchers at the University of Oxford and beyond, the TORCH Team has curated a brilliant programme of blog posts, podcasts, news articles, poems, performances and more for you to enjoy. 

This week, we will be showcasing content including: 

• Reni Eddo-Lodge In Conversation with Rebecca Surender
• Ruth Simmons on Race and the Curriculum
• Hiphop, Knowledge, and the Academy
• Mainstreaming Black Power

Remember, we are happy to consider content submissions related to this theme, be it a poem, artwork, blog post, or book review!

Unleash your creativity, and send your suggestions and content to torch@humanities.ox.ac.uk.
