Research note: exploring the decolonization of the housing studies curriculum
Abstract
Decolonizing the curriculum has risen as a political and pedagogical concern in the past ten to twenty years, particularly in the wake of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Significant attention has been paid to discussing the meaning of decolonization, establishing its boundaries and principles. Rather less attention has been made to applying these principles to specific curricula. This paper sets out to explore an application to Housing Studies, set in the context of an Higher Education Institution in the Global North. This is intended as a stimulus to discussion and development within the discipline, rather than claim a definitive statement.
