Liberating the Curriculum

The Liberating the Curriculum (LTC) working group at ÂÒÂ×Ðã was a group of staff and students formed to address the issue of an inclusive curriculum.

We work to challenge traditional Eurocentric, male dominated curricula and to ensure the work of marginalised scholars on race, sexuality, gender and disability are fairly represented in curricula.

LTC projects

In 2016 we funded staff and students at ÂÒÂ×Ðã to run projects to explore ways of changing the curriculum. The projects ranged from work on diversifying reading lists, bringing patients perspectives into healthcare and a co-curriculum project on the ‘other’ in film.

Staff and students at ÂÒÂ×Ðã have been working on projects to change curricula at ÂÒÂ×Ðã.
