DESCRIPTION:Calls for decolonisation are resonating in universities across
  the globe today. The most dramatic instance has been the Rhodes Must Fall
  movement in South Africa\, which helped catalyze protests around decoloni
 sing education in that country as well as activism in the UK. Our focus is
  on one particular aspect of today’s demand to decolonise the university
 : the curriculum. This opening session will ask why the demand for decolon
 isation is being heard so widely in universities today\, what its politics
  and possibilities are at present in the UK\, and what place decolonising 
 the curriculum has in these broader demands for decolonising the universit
 y. To explore these themes\, we bring together three scholars who have bee
 n involved in decolonising the curriculum\, knowledge production\, and the
  university in different ways. The panel will be followed by an open discu
 ssion to help set the agenda for the series of workshops and seminars in t
 he year ahead.
