Researchers: Claire Alexander, Sundeep Lidher, Rashida Bibi

Building on a decade of award-winning work on developing an inclusive history curriculum, in partnership with the Runnymede Trust (www.makinghistories.org.uk; www.ourmigrationstory.org.uk), this project has two strands: firstly, exploring the existing and newly emerging initiatives around decolonising the history curriculum in schools, working with key institutions and stakeholders from across the education sector; secondly, examining the role of teacher training in implementing effective change in the classroom.
