Inclusive Education Curriculums by Snigdha Hore https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0 This padlet is part of a Master's level research to study the impact of Intersectionality in Higher Education Curriculums in the United Kingdom en-us 2023-07-27 17:48:02 UTC 2023-09-02 19:48:35 UTC hello@padlet.com unquestionable if we are to build true equity and social hope https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653510640 In a world where conflict and crises is so prevalent - all opportunity for learning alternative perspectives [to the dominant ones] are essential for conflict transformation]]> 2023-07-31 11:06:40 UTC https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653510640 positions of difference https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653512165 creating opportunity to learn, engage with and embrace difference - whether that be a walk in nature understanding the diversity of more-than-human species or stories of my own relationship to the world(s) and position of being a TCK (third culture child) and belonging in more than one place]]> 2023-07-31 11:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653512165 inviting participation https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653512688 student perspective and experience of curriculum as well as a trans-disciplinary approach is essential for progress - nothing changes, if nothing changes]]> 2023-07-31 11:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653512688 problem of the way the question is formed https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653515262 I don't think this is a yes/no answer - in my own experiences as an educator and a parent of a mixed heritage child - it is location specific and depends on the experiences and biases/awareness of the (institution) teaching community itself - A policy driven, firm top-down anti-racist and determined gender parity approach certainly paves way for there to be a more inclusion. ]]> 2023-07-31 11:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653515262 https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653516015 depends which curriculum - I would imagine there will be varying approaches across the levels - maybe need to be more specific here.]]> 2023-07-31 11:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653516015 From the curricula I have seen, I think this varies considerably and it feels like there might be correlations to sub-disciplinary areas (i.e. some tend to be a bit more plural than others and I suspect it's those subjects where plurality and/or critically understanding positions is part of the subject). Some of the most obvious examples of broadening examples can also come across as superficial, whereas structural changes (like embedding criticality/plurality) seem to have more of an effect? https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653534072 2023-07-31 12:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653534072 Not just now (with the exception of some sub-disciplines) - we are even pretty bad at tackling neurodiversity, particularly frustrating given the correlations seen in our subject. But if the question is should intersectionality play a role, then yes, it absolutely should to encourage a greater diversity and social sustainability of thinking. https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653535288

But there is no substitute for it be part of the structure of any curriculum (starting with acknowledging, developing and valorising students' own identities and positions - and not simply repressing these in favour of indoctrination https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653537395 2023-07-31 12:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653537395 Again, this varies significantly and depends on the curricula. As before, if the question is should race, ethnicity and nationality play a role then, absolutely, yes. Design doesn't exist without these conceptions and we don't tend to acknowledge that as much as we could in normative design curricula. https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653538160 2023-07-31 12:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653538160 No. To be blunt, it never has been and it still retains the structures and trappings of the class society it emerged from and contributes to. Selection in HE is still based on a series of prior and developed privileges (not always, but for most) and, whether design HE likes it or not, this is reflected in most student populations. Again, not always and it has changed somewhat over the years - but the numbers for inclusion and attainment aren't great. https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653541057 2023-07-31 12:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653541057 I have witnessed dramatic differences in content on intersectional themes in different design programmes. Tragically, some design programmes are far behind other disciplines in terms of intersectional content in the curriculum. https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653681593 2023-07-31 17:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2653681593 Disciplinary fragility https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2655026751 Disciplinary fragility was first described geographers working in anti-racist education (Esson and Last 2020). I have found that it usefully describes tensions that arise when educators attempt to bring intersectional content into traditional programmes and institutions. ]]> 2023-08-02 21:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/snigdhahore/ygoyg26ujgxhyjc0/wish/2655026751
