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.

How you can get involved

Decolonising the Curriculum is a huge, ongoing task that is student-led. Here are a few ways you can get involved with the work going on at Durham:

• Attend Decolonising events – there should be events going on in your departments either run by staff or by student interns
• Apply to become a student intern – advertisements should be posted by your department when new positions become available
• Interact with the student projects on the Hub
• Run your own event – you can host an open discussion, a book club, or a lecture with a guest speaker. If you want help setting this up please contact olivia.flavell@durham.ac.uk
