About this Event
The University’s Decolonising the Curriculum (DtC) group invites you to a one-day symposium on Tuesday 8 December 2026, 9.15am to 4.30pm, in the Newton Room.
The day is a chance to come together across the University to share practice, reflect on what decolonising the curriculum means in our different disciplines, and learn from one another. It is open to academic and professional services staff and to students, and staff are very welcome to bring students along.
What to expect
- Two rounds of short presentations: the first on curriculum, pedagogy and the student experience, the second on research, impact and structures
- Table discussions after the presentations
- Parallel themed sessions for each of the four colleges, UBS and Professional Services
- Cross-college roundtables
- Closing reflections and next steps
Lunch and refreshments are provided.

Attending?
Please register by 6th November 2026 so we can plan catering. If you’re bringing students, ask each of them to register too, or book a ticket for each one. We hope to make this a much wider event, so knowing numbers really helps.
