UNIC is a member of the ACU, along with over 500 other members spread across 50 countries in the Commonwealth, which embraces and actively supports the international organisation’s mission to build a better world through Higher Education.
The first season of the new ACU offering examines how universities have responded to calls to decolonise Higher Education, and explores the critical question of: “who gets to learn?”, and “who gets to teach?” Episodes will look at this question from many angles, including unpicking the term ‘decolonisation’, the student experience, reparations of place, and international collaboration.
The ACU has brought together academics, students, and practitioners from across the Commonwealth, so you can expect lively discussions, in-depth analysis, and new perspectives. The Podcast kicks off on 29 October 2020, with Episode 1 asking: “Does decolonising higher education matter?”
The podcast is available on all major podcast platforms and the ACU’s website here: https://www.acu.ac.uk/the-internationalist/
