    The call to \u2018decolonise\u2019 our social spaces and learning environments is closely linked to the ongoing call for equality, recognition of diversity and more sustainable ways of life across the globe. Our university \u2013 like many others \u2013 seeks to uncover and change the biases that can lie hidden in university life around race, culture and ethnicity, that are linked to our histories of colonisation.<\/p>\n

    We are tackling this through an initiative led by our academic schools that draws on the experiences of staff and students in our Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic + Network, working closely with our Equality & Diversity Manager and our Sustainability Team. The Decolonising Learning project is funded by LIFT \u2013 Learning Innovation for Tomorrow \u2013 our university-wide programme to advance sustainability \u2013 which has included decolonising learning as one of its key principles since it began.<\/p>\n

    How we see decolonisation<\/h2>\n

    The term \u2018decolonisation\u2019 is open to different interpretations but our project team has agreed these shared principles for its ambitions and activities:<\/p>\n
