It identifies key moments in recent decolonial history including the Rhodes Must Fall campaigns, and the ‘Why Is My Professor So White?’ and ‘Why Is My Curriculum So White?’ student-led movements from around the globe. It provides a backdrop to the following chapters, which address varied aspects of decolonial work within criminology specifically and within the criminal justice system. The work of existing influential decolonial scholars is recognised and provides inspiration for localised decolonial endeavours, although the constrictive HE environment and the obstacles this causes are also recognised.

摘要

This chapter contextualises the decolonising the curriculum movement within higher education within the global decolonising movement, which has provided momentum to these endeavours within the British university context. It identifies key moments in recent decolonial history including the Rhodes Must Fall campaigns, and the ‘Why Is My Professor So White?’ and ‘Why Is My Curriculum So White?’ student-led movements from around the globe. It provides a backdrop to the following chapters, which address varied aspects of decolonial work within criminology specifically and within the criminal justice system. The work of existing influential decolonial scholars is recognised and provides inspiration for localised decolonial endeavours, although the constrictive HE environment and the obstacles this causes are also recognised.
