Decolonising through Reflexive Practice - An Institutional Pilot

Safadi, Sami

Abstract

The project is an extension of a piece of work that started in Salford Business School around the need to decolonise our practice which ties to ensuring more inclusive pedagogies, epistemological liberation, and addressing manifest outcomes of inequity and injustice - e.g. the ethnicity award gap.

The project has been taken into the wider institution in 2023/24 and includes staff and student aspects across the 4 schools. I have developed an e-course on decolonising through reflexive practice which has 5 workbooks and uses interactive approaches so as click through infographics, student generated art, voiceovers and podcast chats, and animated overlay.

The presentation will seek to outline the background, what the pilot is and why, the challenges faced and how we/others may overcome them, and how we will be evaluating the pilot in terms of engagement, impact, and perception.
