This workshop is based on the Wheel Framework (https://doi.org/10.1177/27526461231154014) developed by Musharrat Ahmed- Landeryou and has been developed to support Higher Education Institutions in decolonising education. The purpose of the workshop is to introduce you to the theory of decolonising and the application of the wheel framework to develop your context specific decolonising strategy. This is package 2 of 3: each package builds on the previous and has been developed to create supportive, sustainable work within your University. 

The workshop was developed from Musharrat’s work in supporting some university departments and courses as a response to Musharrat’s paper and many conference presentations nationally and internationally.

It is a systems approach, that enable you to start to link in with aspects of the university’s activities wider then the curriculum, such as evaluating belonging for students, or reviewing the intersecting oppressions in career progression or research opportunities and more.
