Why is my curriculum white?

The idea that certain people and communities are more/most developed is reproduced, often unthinkingly, in schools through what and who we learn about.

Choose a subject or topic area you are particularly interested in, e.g., mathematics, micro-biology, literature

·       What knowledge is included?

·       Which people are presented as the creators of that knowledge?

·       What perspectives are missing?

How can you balance teaching the set curriculum, with making the curriculum more diverse and inclusive and fostering students' critical awareness of historical imbalances?
