York St John has expressed commitment to decolonisation and anti-racism, and staff and students are working collectively towards understanding what this means for our University and wider community.
These pages have been created by colleagues based in York St John's Teaching and Learning Enhancement team in consultation with members of our Anti-Racism and Decolonisation Community of Praxis. We see the pages as works in progress and their development as itself part of our ongoing, collective efforts to explore and progress decolonisation within our context.
