Abstract
The session will include a combination of facilitators' reflections and written/video testimonials from staff at Strathclyde, describing their engagement with the ARC resources and their journeys towards becoming anti-racist educators.
The session will inspire staff to reflect on the steps they are taking, both personally and within their organisations, by stimulating conversations about race and the curriculum. It will share the experiences of a group of staff who took steps in their journeys by engaging with Advance HE's ARC project resources within a facilitated community of practice. And it will demonstrate the effectiveness of the ARC resources in supporting a transformation of both attitudes and practices.
The presenters envision a future in which all staff in HFEIs will have advanced significantly on their antiracist journeys and where race equality will be embedded in the curriculum, on our campuses and in our learning spaces. As such we see anti-racist curricula and anti-racist educators as being at the heart of inclusive teaching
This session will be of interest to all delegates involved in learning and teaching, particularly educational developers who are themselves providing support to teaching and learning staff. Participants will be able to draw on the experiences
of academic developers at Strathclyde who have actively championed anti-racist approaches to the curriculum, including insights about works and what have been the barriers and challenges. They also will be signposted to freely available resources which they can use within the context of their own practice.
By reflecting on the application of concepts related to decolonisation, planning an anti-racist curriculum, developing an anti-racist approach to teaching and involving students in the setting of a research intensive university, the session will make an important contribution to knowledge in this field of endeavour.
