Science for social justice: co-creating authentic anti-racist assessmentsDr. Moonisah Usman and Dr. Amy MacLatchy, University of Westminster, Thursday 25th April 2024, 1pm – 2pm (MS Teams)As decolonising of science gains momentum across the sector, we reimagine it to be about challenging prejudice and bias, shifting from eurocentric epistemology and recentring marginalised voices. Ultimately, shifting our relationship to and practice of science by being actively anti-racist and inclusive, may help us tackle problems such as health inequalities, which affect minoritised groups the most and with which we’ve grappled for too long (Raleigh and Holmes, 2021). In this workshop, we will consider the link between science and social justice to create inclusive learning spaces that allow anti-racist dialogue and practices. We will share lessons from our journey of using student partnership and critical thinking to develop and co-create anti-racist, inclusive assessments within the discipline of life sciences, on the core foundation module ‘Critical Thinking for Academic Professional Development’ in the Centre for Education and Teaching Innovation, University of Westminster.
