Sociologist Meghan Tinsley calls for a two-way dialogue about making university curricula more inclusive.
Credit: SocialHistoryImages/Alamy’s careers section launched a series of articles in November 2022 looking at how institutions and disciplines in the natural sciences are seeking to make curricula and outreach activities more representative of the communities they serve.
I collaborate with colleagues here and at other universities, community historians and activists who are working to decolonize the way we teach politics, geography and social anthropology. We share course outlines, ideas and experiences in and beyond our departments, as well as the institutional constraints we face. I have met many more people who are talking about decolonization in the humanities than in the sciences.
Although these modules are not compulsory, I would like for every student who gets a sociology degree here to be familiar with the concept of decolonization and with social theory outside the ideas of white, Western thinkers. I would also like for every student to see the world through the lens of not only white European sociologists, but also thinkers from minority ethnic groups and those from the global south who have participated in struggles for liberation.
