We are delighted to announce that BAM has been awarded a grant from the ESRC-AcSS EDI Funding call.
We will use the funding to publish and promote a Decolonising the Business School Curriculum (DtC) Guide to provide social science educators with practical information, advice and examples to support their decolonising the curriculum efforts. The accessible guide is being prepared by two members of BAM’s Executive with specialist expertise - Professors Martyna Śliwa and Stephanie Decker - in consultation with scholars interested in postcolonial research and pedagogy from different countries.
Professor Emma Parry, Chair of the British Academy of Management, said, “We are delighted with the AcSS-ESRC funding to promote our new “British Academy of Management Guide to Decolonising the Business School Curriculum” for the benefit of the social science community. EDI and Respect are fundamental values for BAM and, as part of our mission, we seek to use the specialist research expertise within our discipline to help embed them usefully within the academic community and society more broadly.”
The new Guide will be freely available to download from our and the AcSS website and will be launched at BAM’s Conference in Nottingham. Look out for it!
