Decolonising our School Curriculum with Kimberly McIntosh and Dr Roger Christofides

41m · Published 18 Jul 00:26

What would it mean to decolonise the curriculum? Why does it matter? Is a decolonised curriculum about BME pupils seeing themselves represented? Or is it about giving all young people a fuller understanding of Britain's history? On this episode Chloe Tomlinson is joined by primary school teacher and TransformEd editor Richard Oyewole, Kimberly McIntosh, Senior Policy Advisor for the Runnymede Trust, and Dr Roger Christofides, a lecturer in English Literature at the University of Liverpool. Bringing together perspectives from Key Stage 1 to university-level Shakespeare studies, they explore the importance of decolonising the curriculum across subjects and age groups.

Michael Young's concept 'powerful knowledge' has become something of a buzzword in education today. But is this really the key to a good education for all?
