Abstract

Decolonising the curriculum is a crucial part of curriculum design in higher education and part of the University of Glasgow’s Learning and Teaching Strategy. Here we will present the work of a student-staff partnership to decolonise the statistics curriculum within the Life Science degrees with specific focus on Eurocentrism and anti-discrimination, with practical examples of how this has been integrated across degrees. This includes an evaluation of student views and experience of decolonising the curriculum, which highlights a range of student perceptions and the importance of working with students when developing this area. We will share our recommendations to others going forward and our experience of this partnership scheme by summarising our toolkit for dissemination. Our partnership students will also share their experience of this scheme. It is valuable and key that students have a voice in co-creating a decolonised curriculum and further opportunity to evolve the curriculum via feedback.
