Join us on:
Date: Thursday October 12th
Time:1-2pm

We were granted funding from the UCL EDI Take Bold Action for Inclusion fund to research Decolonisation of the Curriculum in Geoscience, and students Shannon James and Rose Meadows brought together broad and varied research on this topic into a unique zine, designed to provide context to the work taking place in Earth Sciences around the world.
This event will launch the zine, with presentations from its producers and event collaborators AstroNoir. Key issues relating to race and geoscience will be discussed, and the context of research and scientific endeavours within colonial history will be explored. Please come along to share your support, thoughts and questions, or just to learn more. To register, please email r.willatt@ucl.ac.uk stating whether you’re coming in person or online.
A poster on the project has already won a prize for the joint-best poster at a UCL EDI event this summer.
