Vets in Diversity Podcast

Looking to the
Colonial past and its impact on Higher Education today – In this episode we are exploring historical
evidence to help explain why the system is structured the way it is and why
racial inequalities exist within higher education and across sectors within
society.  We also explain what is meant
by the term ‘decolonising the curriculum’ and discuss how it is being done
within HE and more specifically at the Dick Vet and look at its impact on the
educational experience for all staff and students.
