#white curriculum

This is one of the few things in life, along with Two Black Girls of course, that I am incredibly proud to have been involved with. We delved into our own experiences as black faces in Higher Education in episode five and let’s just say recording that episode was painful in many ways. We need to keep talking about higher education and its blinding whiteness from the academic staff (don’t forget that the UK only has eighty-five black professors our of 20,000) to the curriculum itself, and the impact it has on students of color. 

PS: I love everything that was said in this but hands down my favourite part was when one of the speakers described people’s attitude towards empire as ‘they think it was an Elizabethan NGO’.
