Understand why cultural institutions still fail to tell the whole story about historical events which directly impact on what is ingrained (& removed) from the public conscious at present...

S/o to @EmmaMacNicol & @j4lebi for organising the #DecolonisingScienceNarratives workshop last week. This event provided an important space to discuss the various entry points for decolonisation in science, as well as proactive steps for action 👏🏿

[The Black Curriculum @CurriculumBlack]

The deportation of 29 black people from 🇬🇧 to 🇯🇲 #aintnothingnew. Understanding the historic legacy of the systematic ‘hostile environment’ promoted by successive UK governments, should be a part of our education.
But where is this info in the national curriculum? 🤔
