• Why is My Curriculum White? – We must consider the content of our courses, how it is taught and who is teaching us. BAME students are under-represented by our curricula, with our histories and ancestral narratives omitted from mainstream discourse. We are also under-represented in academic – 92.39% of professors in UK academia are White (Aiming Higher Report, 2015).
