This module was designed to help you enhance student learning by opening the dialogue about which knowledges are privileged and why. During the module, you will hear from some of our students and colleagues on their perspectives and understandings. The intent of the conversations raised here is to move beyond awareness towards action. You won’t find prescriptive declarations or a checklist on the topic of decolonization. Instead, we encourage you to further explore decolonization on your own upon completion of the module.
