Workshops to support the development of the anti-racist curriculum

As part of the Anti-Racist Curriculum Project, QAA Scotland is delighted to invite staff and students from Scottish tertiary institutions to participate in the following workshops.

These will use and build on the Guide resources produced in partnership with Advance HE in 2021, exploring how the resources might be used in different subject areas. Please see the individual links for more detail about each workshop.

The intended audience for the workshops includes staff directly involved in teaching, along with those in teaching leadership positions. However, as enabling curriculum change requires cross-institution commitment, we also invite senior managers and directors of professional services to participate, along with student leaders.

All workshops will be held on Zoom and the workshops of 25 April, 3 May and 10 May will feature a live transcription service.

Please note that places are capped in order to facilitate discussion.
