Reimagining higher education: Journeys of decolonising conference 2024

Nowhere is the phrase “the personal is the political” more resonant than in the journeys to decolonising. This conference will explore the ways in which we can all contribute to and impact journeys of decolonising.

• Theoretical frameworks for decolonising education
• Practical strategies and case studies from institutions
• The role of students and faculty in driving change
• Policy implications and future directions
• Interdisciplinary approaches to decolonisation

Submit an abstract here before 15 July 2024.
