Liberating Curricula: Open Education for Decolonised and Internationalised Learning | 7 April

In an increasingly interconnected world educational practices and materials should evolve to be more inclusive and representative of diverse voices, perspectives, narratives and epistemologies. Through leveraging open educational resources, open pedagogy, and collaborative approaches to knowledge co-construction we can challenge hegemonic narratives and biases, and create a more socially just and inclusive curriculum. This talk explores open educational practices as a transformative approach for curriculum internationalisation and decolonisation.
