Introduction
Between 2016-21, the Durham People of Colour Association (DPOCA) and our SU Academic Officers campaigned to Decolonise Durham.
In December 2020, it was agreed at University Executive Committee (UEC) that the University would back the hiring of paid student interns within both faculties and departments to embed decolonial thinking into the curriculum.
As we approach the end of their pilot year, we want to showcase the interns’ projects, share the inspirational backstories and suggest ways people can get involved in and explore resources relevant to the campaign to Decolonise Durham.
