We are delighted to launch the Global Inequalities and the Climate Crisis curriculum resources.
This innovative resource package for key stage 3 was developed in partnership with OU Geography Project and academics Parvati Raghuram of the Open University, Melis Cin of Lancaster University and Manu Lekunze of Aberdeen University.
The resource pack uses testimonies from Cameroonian people to construct a Cameroon country case study.
Our Global Inequalities and the Climate Crisis curriculum resources respond to the APPG for Africa Education Report (2022) by developing a detailed country case study, drawing on lived experiences of African citizens and situating Cameroon in a global context.

Being adjacent to this project and hearing about its work over the years has been incredibly influential in shaping my thinking around what it takes to actually do #decolonial work. If you can make the time, do attend this event! @GeographyOU @OU_GCSJ

@timfarron I’ll be talking about my PhD research into criminalising acts of ecocide at an event in Parliament (PH) next Wednesday.
🤞 Hopefully I’ll get to speak to MPs who voted (in favour or against) & find out why Labour abstained.

Might be of interest to @koh_sy @FrancisLCollins @LucyMayblin. Paper two is on how anticolonial thought might be useful in this endeavour. Paper 3 is about what this means for theorising migration at this time. All three are available in various pre-print forms.
What does decolonisation mean for Migration Studies? Some thoughts from @ParvatiRaghuram and me on this. The first paper in the series: Decolonising this, Decolonising that (preprint).
Huge thanks to @reflex_studies for getting us started on this. tinyurl.com/dtdtmigration
