This introduction situates the volume within a critical historical moment, following the global racial justice uprisings sparked by the murder of George Floyd.

The chapter outlines the volume’s key themes: critical consciousness, pedagogical innovation, institutional resistance, student agency, and decolonial responsibility. It argues that decolonisation must move beyond diversity agendas and compliance metrics to engage with epistemic justice, structural transformation, and ethical praxis. The introduction frames the chapters as situated interventions, offering grounded practices of resistance, care, and radical hope. It calls for educational futures rooted in plurality, accountability, and liberation.

摘要

This introduction situates the volume within a critical historical moment, following the global racial justice uprisings sparked by the murder of George Floyd. It interrogates the initial wave of institutional responses in UK higher education—statements, pledges, and symbolic gestures—and the subsequent backlash, silencing, and strategic forgetting that followed. The chapter outlines the volume’s key themes: critical consciousness, pedagogical innovation, institutional resistance, student agency, and decolonial responsibility. It argues that decolonisation must move beyond diversity agendas and compliance metrics to engage with epistemic justice, structural transformation, and ethical praxis. The introduction frames the chapters as situated interventions, offering grounded practices of resistance, care, and radical hope. It calls for educational futures rooted in plurality, accountability, and liberation.
