Peer relationships in online learning

In the first Decolonisng the Curriculum interview BILT Student Fellow Rhona Wilkinson talks with Lauren Hutfield, a final year Politics and International Relations student. View the full transcript https://bilt.online/decolonising-the-curriculum-interview-series-2/

Lauren worked with others within the University of Bristol’s School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies (SPAIS) to initiate the decolonial processes within the school. She published the preliminary report, Decolonising the SPAIS Curriculum: Evaluating Mandatory Units, in which she assessed SPAIS’ mandatory undergraduate and postgraduate modules based on reading list diversity and decolonial content. The report sought to ignite debates between students and staff on the decolonising process and how it can be achieved.
