What does it mean to be colonised? 'Why is my curriculum white? How do I research sexualities? What books are available to me? How can intersectionality theory inform my understanding of identity politics? What is 'white privilege'? How does 'whiteness' influence education? What is the relationship of blackness to history and education? How do researchers / educators access and build relationships across and between Global South and Global North that are non-hierarchical?
