Find out how the University of York’s chemistry department is creating a more inclusive environment

It is often the humanities and social sciences departments that spearhead efforts to decolonise undergraduate curriculums, but at the University of York the department of chemistry has taken the lead. Read about how they have established a decolonisation steering committee, incorporated more anti-racist content and non-White scientists’ work into lectures and introduced compulsory equality, diversity and inclusion sessions to create a more inclusive environment.
