Decolonising Education at the School of Law

This resource is a result of a student focus group and a staff workshop held at the Law School in 2022 which introduced the concept of decolonisation into legal pedagogies at the University of Sheffield. 

The resource explains the concept of decolonisation and why it is important, includes student's views on the subject, and, most importantly, provides guidance on how to inject decolonial thought into teaching at the university-level.

During an EDI-related awareness or memorial month/day, for example,  Black History Month, LGBTQ+ History Month, Disability Awareness Day, staff & students are invited to nominate readings, events, figures or thoughts that speak to the themes, which are turned into posters to be put up around the department.
