The BERA Guide to decolonising the curriculum: equity and inclusion in educational research and practice

In: The BERA Guides

Abstract

The call for decolonising curriculum knowledge comes from across public and academic voices and educational organisations. Led by international educationalists across all phases of education, The BERA Guide to Decolonising the Curriculumis a powerful evocation, direction, and call to action for epistemological equity in knowledge production, teaching, and learning. The chapters draw on significant international literature from across the fields of decoloniality, race, gender, history, sociology, and philosophy, and real-world cases, with multiple examples from international academic leaders, academics, and teachers to address concerns about the ideological and political orientation of educational policy discourse bounded by Eurocentric epistemology. Published in partnership between the British Educational Research Association (BERA) and Emerald Publishing, The BERA Guidesare short, research-informed yet accessible introductions to key, interdisciplinary topics impacting education research and practice for a broad academic audience.
