About us

Decolonising the Discipline is collaborative initiative undertaken jointly by colleagues at the English Association, the Institute of English Studies, the University of East Anglia, the Postcolonial Studies Association and University English.

We invite academics from across English Studies in the UK to join us in building a network of decolonising practitioners through which we can gather and share experiences and ideas to effect practical change.

What we do

We recognise that existing curricula, pedagogy and research are grounded in colonial sites of knowledge which reflect hierarchies of race, class and gender.

We aim to:

  • intervene in discussions concerning not only what is taught and studied but how it is taught and studied

  • develop platforms for discipline-wide conversations

  • foster and support collaborative action across English literature, language and creative writing
