Inclusive spaces and student-partnered scholarship to decolonise psychology teaching

Co-creation with students and employing an evidence-based approach are central to my teaching practice. By collaborating on research with students, I have been able to use data to implement changes in my own teaching, and in the wider teaching strategy of my School and beyond, to improve the student experience. This work has not happened in isolation but as a result of building and maintaining an inclusive culture within the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Glasgow (UofG). Through two key strands – creating inclusive spaces to impact student experience and using student-partnered scholarship to decolonise teaching – my case study highlights how decolonisation of psychology curricula can promote inclusive teaching in general, providing safe spaces for students in higher education.
