We were also greatly inspired by the work of
‪@priyamvadagopal.bsky.social‬ who motivated our project's anticolonial definition with her amazing book 'Insurgent Empire' and Adom Getachew's 'Worldmaking After Empire'.

We were greatly inspired by the following
‪@david-batty.bsky.social 's articles concerning the decolonising movement: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020... and www.theguardian.com/education/20...

In 4 months it will have been a year since some amazing colleagues and I co-wrote 'An appeal to Anti-colonial education at the University of Liverpool' www.liverpool.ac.uk/media/livacu... . It is hoped that this is a helpful resource for educators elsewhere. ‪@liverpooluni.bsky.social‬
