Decolonize Your Management Syllabus: A Roundtable Discussion About First Steps

Keywords: diversity, course syllabi, decolonial

Abstract: Decolonization of the academy has received considerable attention in the recent past. While this process will likely take some significant time to accomplish, we suggest that instructors take the first steps in this process by working to decolonize their syllabi. We invite attendees to evaluate the level of diversity currently present in their course materials and identify new diverse material to include in future courses. We hope to engage in lively discussion about the difficulties of decolonizing syllabi and brainstorm solutions to those issues. We hope this session provides attendees the motivation to continue decolonizing their courses after the session.
