All staff and doctoral students are invited to take part in the monthly lunchtime seminars during which we will be discussing the de/colonial imaginary we have developed in a Canadian teacher education context (Pirbhai-Illich & Martin, 2020), and exploring how it might be adapted for the UK context.

In thinking about how we might de/colonise our educational relations, this series will focus on multiple forms of relationality including spiritual, environmental, socio-cultural and historical-political.

The aims of the interactive seminars are to develop your:

• understanding of coloniality;
• relation to colonising ways of being, doing and knowing and how this influences your teacher educator identities and practices;
• understanding of how it might be possible to create de/colonial spaces for teaching and learning.

The seminars will take place via Zoom from 12.30pm – 13.30pm once a month on October 15th, November 17th, December 8th, January 14th, February 16th, March 16th, April 15th, May 13th, and June 17th. A final half day to reflect and review individual and collective learning will take place on July 7th, time tbc.
