Decolonising Research

In response to the Exeter Decolonising Network, the Doctoral College is undertaking a Decolonising Research project to identify what decolonisation means in the context of research, and specifically postgraduate research at the University of Exeter. Working in collaboration with the postgraduate research community, we will identify a list of priority areas and undertake projects to decolonise postgraduate research and the Doctoral College.

We have a small PGR organising commitee, which any interested party is welcome to join. Please email k.preece@exeter.ac.uk if you are interested.
