"Decolonising my syllabus" is to decolonisation what "reducing my carbon footprint" is to climate change - it& #39;s vital and ethical to take individual action, but it& #39;s not the main challenge 1/3

The language of radical change is being peddled by institutions (from petroleum companies to polytechs, from uranium mines to unversities) who want us to focus on individual choice precisely so they DON& #39;T have to make systemic changes. 2/3

Decolonisation =/= a change to the reading list and a land acknowledgement. It means land back and (at minimum) shared governance. That doesn& #39;t mean we shouldn& #39;t do what we can with what we have, but we need to be truthful about the scale of our efforts 3/3
