BAME students wait...til we find the budget...til we get everyone on board...til we get the teaching staff on board...til we revise the reading lists...while the librarian's mind is decolonised.........until yet another generation of BAME students graduate without ever being seen or represented.

Addressing the problems for HE and libraries involves long hard work as it will take a long time to break down the inequalities that have built up over so many years. But the fight to break it down has to begin somewhere, with even just small steps. It's important that everyone recognises they have a role to play in this- it's not the job of one individual in a team/department.

Todays speakers have offered a lot of brilliant ideas to explore and take forward. I will seek to further develop my own teaching practice to enable supportive environments for students to engage in important, but often difficult discussions, about marginalisation, representation and what they understand decolonising to mean. Hopefully helping assumptions to be challenged and distorted narratives to be questioned and reconsidered in a more representative way.

liked the matrix offered by Kelly. I like the idea of getting people to think of key researchers in their area and then mapping and seeing the bias and ommission develop. Have had a similar discussion in a workshop about our experience of children's literature. Most revealing. longwinded way of saying I shall use the matrix!
