Decolonising the chemistry curriculums at universities and in schools

Rhodes Must Fall and Black Lives Matter have shone the spotlight on the shadow that imperialism and colonialism cast over our society and education systems. This article looks at the issues with regard to the chemistry curriculums in universities and schools across the UK and Ireland, with comments from HE chemistry and education staff. It also considers the impact the current White-centric curriculums have on those learning chemistry, and those choosing not to continue their study of the subject.
