Reflecting on Curriculum Diversity in the Humanities

19 Feb 2024

Join us for an event reflecting on the challenges and opportunities of diversifying the curriculum in the Humanities on Wednesday, 28 February

Our University remains committed to creating an inclusive learning environment for our students, embedding equality, diversity and inclusion into the methods by which curricula are taught, the materials and activities used to support learning, and the classroom cultures fostered by student-staff interactions. Yet, the provision of inclusive education remains a constant challenge, reflecting wider inequalities that are deeply embedded in our society.

At this event you will have the opportunity to hear from Anwar Akhtar, founder and director of The Samosa, an arts and journalism charity that also works to embed diversity in curriculum in schools, colleges and universities. During this event, Anwar will present the extensive work that The Samosa have carried out to advance Arts and Curriculum Diversity.

Anwar will feature alongside a panel, comprising of academics from different disciplines within the Faculty of Humanities and a representative of the Students' Union. An audience Q&A will follow the panel discussion. 

Reflecting on Curriculum Diversity in the Humanities: Challenges and Opportunities takes place on Wednesday, 28 February, 3pm - 4pm, at Alliance Manchester Business School, Lecture Theatre 2.008. This event is presented in partnership between the Faculty of Humanities, Creative Manchester and Samosa Media.
