The very first step to decolonize historically & predominantly white depts should be to NOT “recruit” BIPOC students but instead to get white faculty out of the “I can’t be racist” denial.

How many Africans do you see walking around doing ‘fieldwork’ in Western societies? Even for those who live, study, and work here, the assumption is that we can only really study our own ‘home’ societies, so that if we choose otherwise we are often ignored or dismissed. 1/6

I'm angry that university departments feel they can "decolonise" themselves with no substantial changes in expertise or personnel. Asking existing racially illiterate white academics to diversify their teaching without updating their knowledge doesn't come close to decolonisation

A reminder that "good intentions" or "legacy" have been a long standing excuse to not hold people accountable for the negative impacts of their scholarly, scientific, or political work.

British academics, especially in the humanities (literature, history) have not done enough engagement on decolonial theory & praxis to publish on the topic. This isn’t about white academics either; an astounding number of academics of color have also jumped on this bandwagon.

Daily reminder: if you are writing about decolonization and all of the authors are white, you aren't doing what you think you are doing. Please stop.

I studied history at university and took a number of modules on nazi history. When I asked my lecturer what happened to Black Germans, he responded that there “wasn’t really any.” And this is how erasure happens seamlessly in the classroom.

There's a phenomenon I actually see extremely commonly when literature is used to teach history to middle school and high school students. Let's call it "pajamafication."
