I wanted to compile a list of online resources around decolonisation, for my benefit as well as yours, so I went looking. And I found that other people already had this idea and did the work. Quite a number of other people, in fact. I found three good long lists that already existed online, and I have put them here in a list of their own.

I haven’t checked all of the resources listed, because there are thousands. Many are open access, freely available online as web pages, videos, podcasts, and suchlike. There are also books, films, artworks, and so on – my Christmas list has grown considerably in the course of this exercise!

The first one I found is from a symposium, held at the University of East Anglia in the UK in 2018, on decolonising the curriculum. This led to a ‘researchathon’ to create a list of relevant resources, which is now an open access list on Zotero. There are over 1,000 resources in this list alone, and many are free to access.

The second is from another UK university, SOAS (the School of Oriental and African Studies), which has a Decolonising SOAS Working Group, set up in 2016. The Group has produced a list of learning and teaching resources, plus events, media coverage, reading suggestions, podcasts, videos and more.

The third is from a conference held in 2019 by Monash University from Australia at their European base in Prato, Italy. This is another long list, divided into non-fiction, fiction and art, activism, community projects, events, publications, and other resource lists – mostly reading lists.

This post may be short but it leads to a wealth of content. Are there other lists I should include? If so, please let me know in the comments.

This blog, and the monthly #CRMethodsChat on Twitter, is funded by my beloved patrons. It takes me at least one working day per month to post here each week and run the Twitterchat. At the time of writing I’m receiving funding from Patrons of $71 per month. If you think a day of my time is worth more than $71 – you can help! Ongoing support would be fantastic but you can also make a one-time donation through the PayPal button on this blog if that works better for you. Support from Patrons and donors also enables me to keep this blog ad-free. If you are not able to support me financially, please consider reviewing any of my books you have read – even a single-line review on Amazon or Goodreads is a huge help – or sharing a link to my work on social media. Thank you!
