Un/learning racism in the business school: Recovering embodiments of the hidden curriculum for re-humanising management education

Contributing to a growing number of studies that interrogate management learning from the vantage of race, this article engages the concept of the ‘hidden curriculum’ to explore the concealed, informal and relational pedagogies of the business school that shape and govern racist educational settings. Beyond describing these processes, we share a self-investigative method that presents a description of the second author’s time as a student at a British business school. By co-writing and then sharing this story with the reader, we highlight how the process of unlearning evolves in relation with learnt racial knowledges. Unlearning racism requires a collective and individual re-imagining of humanness whereby the racial categories of the non-human/Black person are fully shattered within as well as through persistent and courageous method-making among members of our scholarly community.
