Birmingham Business School of the University of Birmingham has embarked on a three-year project to decolonise its activities across its various operations. This project is part of the mission of the School to embed a culture of responsible business and inclusive values into our teaching, learning and research. Building and expanding on our Diversity, Inclusion and Equality pledge, we are committed to the urgent, and critical need to understand how colonialism continues to be present within our academic structures today, and work together to dismantle these systems of power for a more equal, just and inclusive School. This responds to a growing call to address this issue within the Business School environment.
Sandew Hira gave the keynote speech at this one day conference. Dr. Thomas Sebastian gave a presentation on decolonizing economic thought.
