DESCRIPTION:Together with a notorious #ScienceMustFall video circulating o
 n social media\, #RhodesMustFall and Fees Must Fall protests in the Univer
 sity of Cape Town of 2015–16 have helped inspire a widespread movement c
 alling for the decolonisation of education. What does this mean for scienc
 e and the history of science? What should it mean for the curriculum and o
 ur courses? Here we discuss questions raised by the colonial history of sc
 ience and the possibility of decolonisation\, considering aims\, strategie
 s and experiences gained in teaching the history of science in Cambridge a
 nd elsewhere.
