Abstract
After three long years as a Cambridge English student, the thing that is most memorable about my degree and the thing that has caused me the most
frustration is just how unbearably white the curriculum is. Myself and countless
others have written at length about the ways in which a white curriculum is
nothing more than the maintenance of structural and epistemological power.
Decolonising the curriculum is a process – a process that requires thought and
consideration. It means rethinking what we learn and how we learn it; critically
analysing whose voices are given priority in our education and for what reason. It is not an easy process and why should it be?
